The Little Mermaid!

Mariah was in a school play put on by a program called BUDS (a program designed to have special needs students work with typical students to build relationships). They did "The Little Mermaid." Our daughter Mariah has Asperger syndrome aka high functioning autism... Mariah played the part of Scuttle the seagull. She was very funny and animated. Here are some pictures of her in costume. The most amazing thing was the teacher Mrs Boucher who runs this group. She put on a wheelchair basketball game for them, parties, and helped get this play together. Her mother made all these amazing costumes you see in the pictures and in the midst of all this her husband passed away but still finished putting the production together for the kids.
