Our Visit Continues

Wednesday 26 December 2001
Brian and Mom walked to the Library today, to check out books for Brian to start reading out loud. Brian had all three therapies this afternoon, which Mom attended with him.
In the evening we had a wild little pizza party with Kate, Vanessa Dudley and Marc. Lots of pictures! Sara Golden called from her boyfriends' in Pennsylvania!

In order to help Brian return to reading and practice speech, we thought reading aloud would be helpful. 
His three therapies were speech, physical and occupational.
I will publish photos from this time later.

Brian and Mom walked up to the high school today, so he could walk through the Quad, and had tea at the Roasting Co. on 8th Street. Brian spent the afternoon with his dad. Marc and Kate visited in the evening.

The Quad is the area outside where the kids hang out. It's like the indoors Commons at schools like South Kitsap. The Roasting Co. is the coffee place down the street where the kids, and others, like to hang out. There is an open campus, so the students can go there for lunch. When Brian and Jesse were little, it was a little corner grocery store. It's only a block from our house, and the boys used to walk there to buy treats.

Here's a link to the high school website:
