Spring Concert: The Decision Is His

Thank goodness no one is pushing DB to participate in the spring concert. They exposed him to the opportunity, encouraged him when he decided he wanted to "be part of the group," but are not making life difficult for him now that he seems to have changed his mind.

Clearly his team remembered what I said after the winter concert fiasco. Which really was not so much of a "fiasco" per se, as in it didn't disrupt the concert (much) or bother anyone other than me, really, but it was upsetting to me. And, clearly uncomfortable for DB.

Yesterday at the first practice he stuck it out for 2 songs, then sat out the rest. Today he chose to sit out.

As long as we make it clear that he can't change his mind again and rejoin the group after he's missed any more practices, I think he'll be perfectly fine. He rarely, if ever, changes his mind once he's made a decision about something.

As the social worker said to me,"Maybe next year." And if not, that'll be okay too.
