Small Victories, A New Therapist, and the Pumpkin Patch
So today brought a small victory for Ben. He actually ate a whole Goldfish cracker without having to break it in half! I know this might not sound like a big deal but he really has trouble with textured food and large quantities of food in his mouth. Normally, this would have triggered a vomit, but he handled it like a champ today. In fact, he came back for 4 more! I am so proud of him. Oh yeah, and he has added a new word to his arsenal, MONKEY!!! Woo Hoo! Go Ben!
His new Floortime therapist started today. She is really sweet and gentle. He responded to her right away! I am excited that she is on the team. She is going to see him 6 hours a week! We are so fortunate to be in the town we are in. Our early intervention group is superb. Love them.
So, we were on such a high, we decided to make an impromptu visit to the pumpkin patch today. The lighting was perfect as it was 6 pm and the sun was setting. We are so excited because, for some reason, they had new calves at the Petting Stalls. Ben got to feed a sweet sweet cow. It was amazing. He was so happy. He also got to see ducks and was wigging out! Of course, my camera's battery died before I got pictures of the cow. Uggh! So, we are going to go back this weekend. In the meantime, here are some pictures that I did get:
Thankful for days like today.

I can so relate to the goldfish cracker! Yay for Ben! And, yes, I can relate to the importance of a great EI team too! :)
Looks like an amazing pumpikn patch! That's the problem with being in AZ - it's just too hot yet to get any pumpkins. They dissenagate before Halloween if we get them now!
Hope you've had a great weekend!
Susan! YAY FOR BEN!!! I am so happy for him, what an exciting day at the pumpkin patch...he looks soooo happy! The photos turned out excellent.
Big Hugs,

Woohoo Ben! So good to hear that he is doing superb. I just love seeing photos of him. He is always sooo happy. What a sweetie.
And I hear ya on the camera thing. I took all these photos of Zane finally riding his bike today, and my CF card went kapoot!
Hi,
I have read your blog a couple of times via two peas, but didn't realize you are doing Floortime! Congrats and kudos!! We do Floortime w/ our 5 year old son who has Aspergers.
I love your digi kits also!!
