From stressed out to joy

Published by justadad under Uncategorized Edit This

Like most Saturdays today was filled with many family activities and not much time at home relaxing.  This morning we went to see the movie Kung Fu Panda at the local movie theater.  It was a special event put on for people with special needs and their families.  We only had to pay $2 per ticket and we could bring in our own food if we wanted or blankets to sit on the floor.

When we were getting out of the car we saw one of Cece’s classmates so we told Cece her friend was there.  As soon as she got out of the van she was yelling HI to her friend.  During the movie Cece got sick of feeding me popcorn and told me she wanted to go out into the hall.  So we went out there and proceeded to have thirty minutes of crying and screaming since she could not communicate what she wanted me to do.  Her not being able to communicate is very frustrating for both her and us as we are not able to understand what she wants and respond accordingly.  After I carried her around for a few minutes she calmed down and we were able to see the last five minutes of the movie.
