SAWIIIIIIIIING BATTER!!

Just popping in here to say I found a Free Baseball League for Kaitlyn to become a part of and I'm so excited!! We got her all signed up and the league starts at the end of April! I will be back later today I hope to update on how things have been going lately... we NEED an update! I did want to make sure I got the Baseball thing in here though! She will be playing 2 "games" a week and all the kids get to hit the ball and run the bases and they play about 3 innings and they get T-shirts and Hats and even a banquet and trophies at the end of the season!!! How exciting! :) This is SUCH a great oppurtunity for her socially and I can't wait!!!

Need to Find Acceptance

I think I just need to find acceptance that Kaitlyn is always going to be her. Tantrums, anxiety and all. I have started another behavior-type blog monitoring tantrums and bathroom issues and all that. I can't stand doing it because it just shows me on paper whats going on and I feel it enough emotionally and physically that I dont care to see the same things over and over on paper. I'm just hoping that this will help with either some medications or some sort of work to help her through this.

I am very pleased at how she (and I) handled her cousins Baptism last weekend. It was a very unfamiliar, uncomfortable church and I noticed the signs quickly and took her off to a space where she could walk around with the anxious energy and try not to worry so much about what was going on. Overall she did well at the house with all of the people too. She just didnt talk to whom she didnt want to (which I later explained why they didnt get the normal warm welcome children tend to give family) and she just went about being herself.
Anyway, not much of an update I guess.
