January 11th, 2011 somehow seems to be an auspicious day to begin something new - a blog, as the case may be!
I'm just going to go ahead and jump right in. :)
I work for a private group that provides daycare and ABA (applied behavioral analysis) therapy to children with autism. I work in the office M-W, F, and then at a client's home on Saturdays. Today was a good day, but so far they all seem to be. Sometimes I wish I had more hours to give to them at a time - 2 hours at the end of the day seems like nothing! Especially when I'm not really doing any real therapy with G (at least for now). He was especially sweet today - I finally got a video of him praying! It's so sweet - he says, "Dear God, help me. Done." He also wanted "tickle me" almost all afternoon. I love when he's outgoing and interactive. I also had one of the other boys playing with my hair for a little bit. I am okay having it pulled a little bit, but chewed on is another story. :) Still, I didn't mind too much, considering this boy has ignored all of my attempts to interact with him until this afternoon. Baby K was also having a good day, which is always appreciated! That child has quite the temper when he gets going. As the hiring manager said, working with him is going to give me all the training I could possibly need...
I only have one more day of work this week because I'm going to visit my friend and her fiance in Minnesota. :) I'm really excited to get to go see them in their "natural environment", haha. And to also meet his baby! (I love babies. You will learn this about me very quickly!) After I come home Monday, my big sis from SAI will be coming to visit me here. So excited to be seeing my best friends so close together. :) And then finally, before classes start on the 24th, I will be going skiing with The Boy and his friend, I hope. It might wait until the weekend after, we'll have to see.
That's all for now! :)
