For years now we've been trying to kick-start Kaylia's ability to imagine .... to play with imaginary friends .... to perform imaginary actions. To date it has been fruitless. But the current therapy program has this as one of the goals ..... and yesterday Kaylia was observed having a "tea party" with her teddy bear! It was unprompted and she was on her own. She even put in the sound effects!
This is really a big event! .... and afterward she was cuddling her teddy! She's never done that before. Woo Hoo!
Another funny thing happened this morning ..... I came downstairs at breakfast time and looked out the side door ..... on the ground just outside a b.i.i.ggggg kangaroo was happily munching! He moved under the "stump sitting area". While I watched Teddy came running round the verandah and out onto the little balcony ..... Teddy was standing about one metre above the roo!
There must have been a noise because Teddy looked down and ..... WOOF! Teddy jumped and the roo took off .... it was very funny to watch.
