#776 Wednesday 12 December

We had a 'sort of' night out last night ... the office Christmas party! A good night ... thanks AJ. Kaylia was fast asleep when we got home. She often stays awake waiting for us when we sneak out.
.
Yesterday we had a 'bloggable event' .. we constantly battle to get Kaylia to use correct social behaviour ... such as greeting a person when she enters a room. We try to get her to look at the person and say "Hello XXX". Yesterday she came home and just said "Hi!" .... it was perfect in the situation ... so good that it seemed hilarious in the moment. But it's a good indicator of progress being made.
.
Another anecdote .... last night as I was going out she gave me a big hug and asked ".... goo ger?" (Good girl?). She clearly likes reassurance (of which she gets a lot!) .... I see this as an indicator that she is slowly building external contact through the autism wall.


I've just returned from the city and I noticed this in Forrest Place ....

Kaylia will love it .... walls of water fountains rising and falling!



While in the city, a special moment occured .... the 12th minute of the 12th hour of the 12th day of the 12th month of the 12th year! 

What were you doing at that minute?



And as I drove in the driveway I could see a big storm brewing .... spectacular sight with the dark storm clouds as a backdrop to brightly lit leave in the trees.
