Last Weekend Away


Finally I’m writing about last weekend; it has to be today or it becomes the weekend before and that’s just way too far back and confusing.

Two big accomplishments took place: One, Little E signed for the first time – “more” and Two, I sang a solo for our concert on the Island J

The signing came while driving down the highway on the way to Courtenay. Auntie Soph was feeding Little E pear as a snack and it was a hit. Auntie Soph asked me if Little E was trying to tell her something as she was frantically hitting her fingers together in the sign for more. Ever since then it has been her go to communication for food, more, and probably a number of other thoughts we have yet to decipher. Along with the sign she is “saying” more – it sounds more like ma, but out it comes!

The solo went well I thought. I was really nervous, especially because I had to step out from my safe spot among the choir, and was one of only 3 sopranos when usually we have 9...but I pulled through. It may have helped that there was not a huge audience and most of the people there were actually mine and Auntie Soph’s friends and family. I have posted a link to a video that I am hoping you will be able to access. Please let me know if it doesn’t work…

p.s. Our choir  - Higher Ground - has a concert coming up on Tues. May 10th at  Mulgrave School in West Vancouver (time TBA).
