My Boy Can Sing!

If you know my son, you know he CAN sing and does it frequently, except when it comes to singing in front of OTHERS.  He's so nervous about someone making fun of him.  He must really like his music teacher this year because this is the now the second time this year that he's sung in front of a group of people.  The first time was for Mother Goose Day and it was just parents and siblings.  This time it was in front of the entire Grace Lutheran Church congregation!  People he didn't know were watching him and he didn't even care.  If you know Riley's voice, you can clearly hear him on the video I captured below.

Changing schools has been such a positive experience in so many aspects of Riley's life.  It's given him confidence he lacked last year.  It's challenged him intellectually and grown him spiritually.  He will be the first to admit that he has so many more friends in his short time at Grace than his WHOLE year in public school.  In the public school, he was an outsider, accepted by a few.  At Grace, he's one of the family.  I can't say enough about how wonderful this school is and how thankful that God opened this door for Riley.  This video is evidence of that!
