11/03- New ideas

Today we worked on getting Fred and I both out of the room, inch by inch and closing the door. I was so impressed with Kenz! She did amazing and didn't care that we had left the room. She was having such a blast playing catch with her dr. She did at one time say, "they shut the door." But besides that she was happy and content in the room. When we did talk with the dr we talked about coming up with a reward system soon to expose her to more social situations. We also talked about ways to work on dance and the dr agreed with me and having Kenz attempt to do recital. I was so happy that I made the right decision.

10/31/10-Halloween

In the past we have only taken Kenz to the campground for trick or treating. We have never taken her house to house because one year she had surgery and last year she wasn't feeling well. This being her first year we decided to take her to our church's indoor ToTing. Fred took her around to the doors while I passed out candy. She loved seeing the costumes, unless they were wearing a mask. She didn't want to say "trick or treat" or "thank you." But that was the nice perk of being at our church, most of the members know about Kenz having SM so they knew not to push it. After she went around she came back to our door and helped me pass out candy to the other kids, which she LOVED doing! Afterwards on the way home I had Fred drop us off and I took Kenz to a few houses on our street. She thought it was so cool running from house to house. People would try to get her to say ToT but she wouldn't move her lips. I was glad Kenz was able to enjoy her first real Halloween!
