On Monday, Grandma had a great idea to take Kevin to see the Peanuts (Charlie Brown & Snoopy) movie that was playing in the theater. This was Kevin's third time going to see a movie in the theater. He was a little apprehensive about going into the theater but once the actual movie began (after all the previews) and the Peanuts song began to play, Kevin smiled and enjoyed the show. There were only a couple other people in the theater which was good because Kevin was chuckling it up and I didn't feel a need to "shush" him since he was completely enjoying himself. Grandma and I enjoyed it too - especially watching Kevin enjoy it!
It's just two weeks before Christmas and the weather is still very pleasant. Grandma had another good idea to go to the zoo while she was here for her Wednesday visit.
Another fun activity was a very special dance performance (that included loud music and lots of well deserved clapping) that Kevin also handled very well. I recently re-connected with an old friend who I met when her daughter and Kevin were babies. We had a connection because both our kids have cerebral palsy. Her daughter participates in a dance group facilitated through our local children's hospital. The kids that dance have all levels of abilities and the physical therapist that leads the group has a lot of energy and is very enthusiastic. Kevin and I went to their Christmas show and needless to say it was very inspiring to watch these determined and joyful kids perform to the best of their ability. So happy we had an opportunity to see them perform.
On Friday, after a very long day of doctor appointments, we met Jon's brother and family to see the Christmas lights at Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens, which brightened our day completely!
And on Saturday, Kevin's Communion celebration continued with a visit from my Aunt and Uncle from Pittsburgh.
