another shot from the sprinkler park last week
got down on the ground and shot at an up angle.
Today we went to go meet Curly's new teachers the time they gave us was 1-2
we got there early and parked up from and played eye spy until a group had formed at the door waiting for them to open, so we got out and we waited with the group. You know I do know that she has Autism but I have never really seen her act shy before, I observed her watching the other kids and I could tell she wanted to talk or play but what she did was take a step toward them and then cling to me.
Until today I have never seen her like this, it was always her being totally happy to just play by herself by choice, but now today I saw her unable to approach the girl she wanted to play with, it was strange.
So then the crowd started growing and it got louder and louder and she was getting more and more agitated In the future I think I will ask them to let us go in a few minutes earlier....maybe
Now I had explained to her over and over again what was going to happen I warned her that she will see some of her teachers from last year, and some of the kids and she walked into that building with a smile on her face, we got past the main office, and last year her room was to the right and she started to automatically head that way and I stopped her and told her the first grade classes are over here to the left, she became hesitant but walked with me, and then a teacher came over to her and bent down saying in a squeaky high voice "hi _curly_ it's so good to see you" She went right down flop! right in the middle of the hallway I momentarily got her up and into her classroom where she went down again well lets just say that it didn't go well :(
I should have been more prepared, I should have brought the PEC cards with me the worst thing in the world was that nothing I tried would work...I felt inadequate :( I was trying so hard to have a positive attitude that I forgot to be prepared for the worst :(
*sigh*
lets just hope that tomorrow things go better
bus will pick her about about 8:30

Ah, I so feel for you, my daughter is the queen of the stop, flop, drop as an avoidance technique. She's little now, so I can carry her. I have no idea what I'm going to do when she gets bigger.
Hope school went well. I'm behind on posts, so I guess I'll see....
