Waterton Trip: Red Shirts
Continuing a family tradition, Rachel brought everyone in the family matching shirts. James took the group shots, so I am just posting a few random 'Red Shirt' pics that I took.
Visit from a behavior specialist
John's self injuring behavior has beeen escalating, so we sought the advice of a behavior specialist. She came out to visit last Wednesday morning.
For whatever reason, John starts hitting his head precisely at 9:00 am every day. We timed the visit so the specialist would get there about fifteen minutes beforehand. Precisely at 9:00 am, he started hitting his head. He and I went into some wierd performance art where I struggled to restrain him for the next forty-five minutes or so. Once the specialist left, he calmed down.
I left for the office soon after. When I arrived, I had numerous co-workers ask me what was wrong. It was a very rough morning for all of us, and I guess it showed on my face.
Later that day, John had a visit to the dentist where he had his teeth cleaned and examined. Naturally, he was very cooperative and easy to handle.
