Kids Can Do Christmas

Have I mentioned on this blog yet how much I LOVE Gavin's therapy center? They are amazing. Not only is his therapist SO good with him but he is OBSESSED with going to see her. He LOVES her so much. She has all this energy for him and just treats him so special. So at Christmas, apparently Kids Can Do puts on a Christmas party for all their clients and their families. The therapists dress up and they decorate every room and have games and treats and gingerbread house making and even Santa! The theme was Candyland and they had the place all decked out. It was quite impressive. Gavin was SO excited to be going to TT's (Tracy's) party. When we were there and we looked around, it was amazing to see how all these kids love their therapists just like Gavin does....there were so many smiles and hugs. It was pretty awesome to see. Kids Can Do and Tracy in particular are definitely one of our great blessings so in 2010.

Gavin & Sydney gearing up.

Ice Fishing (we visited this room a few times, it was a favorite)

Penguin Bowling.

Even Sydney took a turn at this one.

Rooms not pictured: Making Reindeer Food, Face Painting & Christmas Carol Karaoke.

As a side note: Gavin was really excited about the karaoke room and we waited VERY patiently for his turn. We stood and waited while at least 3-4 kids sang and when it was his turn, he got on "stage" in the little room, held the mike and just stood there silent, mouth closed. I sang, the therapist in the room sang...and when Jingle Bells ended and we clapped, he got the biggest grin on his face. As if he really did it. Hysterical.

Starting the process.

Very particular with his placement.

So proud of his design (which included window and doorknobs)!
