"Let's Go For a Ride!"

Well, we have learned this week that consistency does pay off with Luke. Anyone who follows Luke's updates knows that Luke is not particularly fond of leaving the house and he especially does not like car rides. He has some OK days when venturing out, but for the most part, he hates it! So we (Grandma Shari & I) decided that if we're ever gonna see improvement, we need to take him for a ride in the car everyday. Not just once or twice a week, but EVERYDAY. So, we did just that this week. The first day, as expected was pretty traumatic, but surprisingly he was all-smiles by day 3. And he has enjoyed all his car rides since. OK, I do realize that Luke can be unpredictable and that next week things can change, but I'm really hoping that this is the start of some happier trips for Luke!

I wish I had a picture of one of his "traumatic" car rides to show with these "happy" car ride pictures so you could see the difference.

We paid a visit to Great Grandma Rose in the nursing home during one of our happy trips.

Luke was a little sqirmy on Grandma's lap so he sat in the chair beside her like a big boy.

"Come on Grandma, lets go!"

Is this one precious or what? I see a future scrapbook page made with this picture.
