Diego has mostly enjoyed the week, and Morning Meeting has held its share of delights for the young and old alike. Wednesday, the music teacher led our group in a song and activity that was fun (a bit like the hora). Everyone started by holding hands in a large circle. We sang the song Old Joe Clark and on the word "go" she grabbed hold of someone's hand, and formed a chain with the music teacher at the head. She led the line through the circle, and then on and on till one long singing snake was weaving in and out of the circle and everyone was laughing, smiling and singing. Diego was in the middle of it all, not sure what to make of the gleeful chaos when someone pulled me into the chain. When Diego saw mama looping through the crowd he started to bawl. Kindly, one of the group scooped him up and bounced across to me. Baby on hip, I sang and laughed and felt completely at peace.
At the end, in the breathless, happy silence Diego piped, "a-Gain!"
