The youngest’s grade just finished performing their concert, and one of the last songs, they sang and did full sign language for. Youngest is non-verbal. For the first time ever, he was able to sing/sign with his class.08 May 2026 17:56 +0000at://did:plc:2ae53yfufz2nbdpppskdvrjz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mleciwxl4k2whttps://bsky.app/profile/katiebaileybook.bsky.social/post/3mle5h6np3c23I KID YOU NOT, it’s spring concert day at the primary school, so, of course, they decided that it’s Tomato-Soup-On-A-Plate-Day.08 May 2026 16:26 +0000at://did:plc:2ae53yfufz2nbdpppskdvrjz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mle5h6np3c23https://bsky.app/profile/katiebaileybook.bsky.social/post/3mksk5hgfq22fMy heart rate monitor results came back!
