Over the last month or so, I've been trying to get Nate out to new places in an attempt to help him with his anxiety by experiencing new places and people. We tend to do about one a week, although sometimes we have managed two.
On another post you can see our zoo trip with Bear Park, which was followed up the next day with a birthday party for a friend Oliver at Chipmunks - both went really well, and Nate was a super-star!
Other times we have been to Chipmunks, Bounce & Beyond, and Takapuna playground and we have plans to try the museum, Motat, and also Kiwi Valley Farm. These ones seem to go okay as Nate can see it's about fun, and so participates. Could be interesting as we try other new things where he might not understand the 'fun' to be had! But got to be good for him :-)
Here are some of the recent shots from Chipmunks....
And some from Bounce and Beyond.....
Fluffy and treat after a play at Takapuna playground.....
And here he is at the very busy Special Childrens Christmas Party....I had been worried about how he would cope with the crowds of people, but we made sure we got there super early so we were first in line to most things as I really don't think he'd understand the waiting your turn concept yet. He loved the police cars (signs 'please' and 'car' because he can't really hear the difference between 'please' and 'police'!), and also the bee. For those of you on Facebook, you can see the video of him dancing with the bee, so cute!! Such a great event, and he came away with some treasures...couple of wooden cars, two new books, a toy drum kit, bubbles, a large soft toy reindeer, and goodies to eat! Very generous event and awesome for special kids like Nate.
