wet feet

Rachel kept saying "doing?" throughout the morning. It's an abbreviation of "what are you doing?" that she frequently uses. I think that's all she said all morning. She got a little confused part of the way through the dressing process and couldn't seem to remember what was next, but as soon as I pointed her in the right direction, she was fine. It snowed last night and Daddy had gone outside to shovel the snow out of the way so she had a clear path to the bus. The gutter along the side of the road had slushy snow and water in it, but not very much. She stepped right in it. When she was little she had perception issues and wouldn't crawl/walk off a rug sometimes. Now, she steps right in puddles when it would be so easy to step over them or go around. I'm not sure if it's still the same problem, except that she's learned to just go for it, or if she really doesn't notice. I hope her feet aren't wet all day.

Her afternoon went the same as almost every other afternoon for the last month or so. I really wish I could find something else that she would do.

Last night we went over to her brother's house to watch a movie. She seemed to enjoy herself. She kept turning so far that she couldn't see the TV, but would turn back when she was reminded. When it came time to go home I asked her if she wanted to go home and she said "no." I asked her if she wanted to stay and she said "yes." So we talked for a few more minutes and then, since it was getting late, we came home. She was relatively happy while getting ready for bed. I didn't get a smile, but I didn't get a frown either. I think she was just ready to sleep.
