Parks and Rec

Today we hit Kiwanis Park for the first day of the Parks and Rec series going on this summer.  It is eight weeks of activities for the kids.  And it is free. 
Today was arts and crafts with animals.  When we got there the little woman did not want to participate and she stayed in the car.  The little man and I went and found the activity and he spent a good half an hour just coloring his animals.  And he did a wonderful job.
Then the little woman showed up when kids from the neighborhood arrived.  She played on the playground, in the fountain and made a hobby horse.  She actually stayed longer than we did and got a ride home from the neighbors. 
Dan came to check it out.  Loved it.  He was also very happy at how well things are going for us.  He forewarned me to not stop therapy in a lurch.  Never all at once.  Back off slowly when I think it is time.  And he wasn't saying it was anywhere near time.  Just giving me a heads up as to what other people have done and it tends to backfire. We are going to try only seeing him every other week now though.  The little woman is doing so well and is able to voice her feelings and her needs.  And the little man showed today that he can honor those requests. 
Now the kids are watching a family movie with Daddy after having just finished dinner.  They love spending time with him.
