[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 48922, member: 3211"] Glad the concert was fun - and he made it through the whole thing, which is great!! [img]:bravo:[/img] Our difficult child did choir when he was attending reg. elementary school - and still participates in the orchestra. He does all of the things you mentioned, too, with the fidgeting, etc. - but it has gotten better over the years. It's now to the point that I notice it, but probably someone else wouldn't, for the most part. Although, at last year's spring orchestra concert, difficult child mortified me by using his bow as a back scratcher. [img]:nonono:[/img] I was trying to send him mental telepathy messages from row 20 of the high school auditorium, but it just didn't quite work. Thank God the orchestra/violin instructor is awesome and just redirected him calmly!! I think we, as moms of difficult child's, have a unique concert-going experience, anyway. I know that ever since kindergarten, I sit there practically holding my breath - wanting so badly to just relax and enjoy the performance, but it's like I'm always waiting for something to happen. I don't let down my guard til the final curtain call. I have the feeling that no one else in the crowd has any idea at all how much it takes for our kids to actually get through the hour long event - and how relieved we are when they do it! Good for your difficult child for getting through it - fidgets and all. I'm sure most of the other parents/adults didn't even notice it. [img]:wink:[/img] [/QUOTE]
