This weekend we had the overwhelming joy of sitting back and watching our Caleb experience one of the biggest milestones in his life as he performed in Seneca Valley's Hello Dolly musical.
It has been so rewarding to watch him navigate this whole process with so much maturity and success. He poured everything he had into auditions and dedicated himself fully to an incredibly demanding rehearsal schedule all while managing his school assignments and tests. He remained focused and calm (well, mostly calm 😏), keeping his grades up - even scoring a 17/20 on a DNA Biology test the week of "go time."
The positive connections with new friends has been an answer to prayer, and seeing him shine with so much joy and pride after every rehearsal and performance makes the late nights more than worthwhile. He's already talking about next year.
Just two years ago all of this wouldn't have even been a remotely tangible possibility. He was clawing and crawling his way through the school year with an incredible amount of anxiety and frustration. His attention was so divided and limited that even managing his assignment book was difficult. We are just so amazed as we now sit back and continue to watch our Caleb "BECOME." Keep flying high, my shining star.... Show 'em what you've got. 🌟❤️🌟
