Belly Laughing

We've stayed busy this week too. Grant started play therapy on Wednesday and it went really great. He goes to the hospital and plays in a "special" playroom with the therapist. We are able to go to an adjacent playroom and wait for him. Hopefully, this is going to be able to help him express his anger and frustration toward his situation in a more acceptable way. He absolutely loved it. He has asked me everyday if he can go play with Ms. Mandy (pronounced Bindy). He will go once a week. Rudy and I also started a Child-Parent Relationship Training class this week. This is also offered by the Child Life department at Cook Children's hospital. It will coincide with Grant's play therapy, so that we can be consistent in using the same techniques and terminology with him at home. I already had the chance to try some of it yesterday and was shocked when it actually worked. :)
Yesterday, we met a new family that moved in across the street. In our short conversation, we discovered that one of their daughters has a rare blood disease. She is being treated by the same doctors at Cook Children's and goes to the Grapevine clinic regularly. It blows my mind every time I think about it. I have to believe that God already knew they were going to move in there when our house was on the market and not selling. I am so thankful that His ways are higher than our ways!
Grant is feeling really good! We had a particularly fun day yesterday b/c Grant kept getting tickled and laughing uncontrollably. It's contagious!
