p.s.

Yesterday one of the boys in the wolfgang stopped in the middle of our run through right after the wolfgang had finished their very complicated first sentence.  He asked: "what does that sentence mean?" and I replied, "it means, you have a plan to steal Red Riding Hood's picnic basket" and he said "I know that.  But what do the words mean?"  (mind you this sentence contains words like "savory", "succulent" and "enticingly".  This is the same boy who earlier, when I explained what succulent meant told me I might be wrong, because he though succulent was a term referring to a plant that sucked up water with it's leaves.  I told him the word might mean both things.

Also, one of the girls came up to me at the end of rehearsal after noticing that the girl with down syndrome didn't have a partner to dance with in the finale.  I assured her I had already taken care of the problem, having already told girl friend #2 that she should run and dance with her again as she did in the party song the first time around  But it really touches me how much these other kids are looking out for her.  All of them are constantly making sure she is moving where she out to do, and doing as she should, and they are never EVER impatient with her.  It's really sweet.
