Yesterday’s class at Arise started off small with only two children, and then grew as the class went on. A couple big highlights included: two moms dancing to Don’t Worry Be Happy (which one of the mothers had previously requested), and hearing a five year-old girl singing the Goodbye song while cuddling her mom while I was packing up to leave. This particular child has special needs and I had only ever heard her speak three or four words over the course of the last six months! So hearing her sing words was huge! The co-ordinator told me later that this girl expresses herself best through music. It was very special!!
