Lily's school graduation

On Friday, Paul and I, Isaac and a teenager from church we'd ended up babysitting went to Lily's graduation. It was lovely and as is usual in events at special needs units very accepting of noisy and unusual behaviour, so Isaac fitted right in!

Everyone in the unit got an award -Lily's was for drama and was presented by her helper who is a dance instructor. Lily did a wonderful goodbye speech and was given some flowers and a school mug. Lily has been very well liked at school and has loved being there. they are genuinely sorry to be losing her. I reminded them it will only be a few years and Noah will be coming along!
