Tuesday

Today was Richards field trip. We left really early this morning. We first went to a zoo. Each client had a task to do because this was in place of therapy. So Richard was in charge of organizing group and individual photos. He had a camera which he was to use at his leisure but he had to include everyone in the photos. We took a group photo in front of the zoo by some blue flowers (his idea) then he took a picture of each animal we encountered. He took some candid shots of people. One of his therapists was camera shy and refused to turn around the whole trip. He told her she wouldnt like the alternative for not taking a picture. So he took a picture of her butt. After he gets them developed, he has to make a scrapbook with captions I think so He will label the butt as Sarah. I kind of encouraged him to do it because he thought he would get in trouble. Everyone got a good laugh at it. We left the zoo and went to a park to eat. After our picnic we went to a museum. We walked around and took more pictures. We got back to the facility around 2pm. We went to Christies therapy with her. The therapist was telling us of all the things she did yesterday in therapy. They gave her objects to she if she would use them appropriately. They gave her a wet washcloth, chap stick, and a tooth brush. She used them all correctly. Becky has pictures of it on her website if you need to see it to believe it. Richard was so happy for her he cried. I snuck out during her therapy today. She was kicking the ball to Richard and he was enjoying it so much!!! He keeps telling her..."I cant wait until the day we walk out of here hand in hand together!"
