Our social butterfly

Jordan had a great weekend. On Saturday his grandma KK & pa pa came to visit. Jordan loved getting his grandma snuggles. He was giving sad faces when it was time for her to go but she promised she would be back next weekend & he seemed ok with that. He loves to look at his grandma's face & listen to her soft nurturing voice. Jordan loves having visitors.

On Sunday, we went to the museum of science & industry. Jordan had just woke up when we initially arrived. Waking up is very stimulating and difficult for him but then we were in a crowded museum and he had a pretty big episode. We went into a quiet area and told Jordan we have all day you take as much time as you need to adjust. After a short while, he began to calm & enjoyed his museum trip. He had several smaller episodes but he managed just fine.

He got excited walking through the train area & the area where the plains are hanging in the air (because they are easier for him to see) There was a lot of visual effects & big body parts hanging up high where he could see also. He was giving everybody smiles and happy to be out and about again among people. Today was a rainy day & a good time to show Jordan there is more in Chicago than just hospital's & doctors.
