Adelle second outing
Last week Adelle was ready and came right out to the car when I pulled up. She rode in back again and started giving sports info, her fall back conversation when she doesn't know what else to say. We went to the house and made cookies together-oatmeal chocolate chip raisin. She started being silly but then settled down and really worked hard and concentrated and seemed to enjoy it. We just made two sheets because we needed more oatmeal and to keep her attention. We did make a mess. She ate sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon sugar, dough and several cookies. We got sugar all over the floor! Then she got on the computer as we were waiting for Leah to come home to say hi. Adelle kept trying to look up some score or something from March 30 that she has talked about for two visits now. Then we went to the fire station to take Scott some cookies and for Adelle to meet him for the first time. I told her she could ask him about scores from March 30. Adelle needed to use the restroom badly--she kept crossing her legs. She went in to look at ours but wouldn't go in it. I went and flushed but apparently the toilet paper didn't go all the way down and that bothered Adelle. She kept saying, "Why is your toilet broken?" So the first thing she did at the fire station was use the restroom. Then she shook hands with Scott and asked him her questions about March 30. He knew what she was talking about and got on the computer. Apparently, she is really into a sports radio show called "Around the Horn" which is a sports debate. She wanted to know which of the commentators won the debate that day! So Adelle sat at Scott's desk and listened to several Around the Horn shows on the computer. She laughed and tried to recite the words along with it and rocked and thoroughly enjoyed herself. When we got back in the car, she kept reciting what she had heard. She was soooo happy about it! Then we went to the grocery store for more oatmeal and also got some mustard. Earlier Adelle wanted a cheese sandwich and I only had spicy brown mustard. I'm not sure how I ever thought I could be Adelle's Big Sister without mustard in the house! We bought mustard and oatmeal and headed to the city park to swing. While swinging, we saw Leah and her friends and they were slack lining and kicking around a soccer ball. We went over. Adelle shook everyone's hands and then kicked the soccer ball (hard) several times. Allison asked Adelle if she wanted to try slack lining. With Allison's help, she jumped right up and walked down and back both lines without much difficulty! Everyone was impressed! Then she was ready to go home. I am going to get Adelle tonight and are plans are to make hamburgers and hot dogs. She has been talking about this both times we've been together--she's going to have two hamburgers and two hot dogs! Can't wait!
