Went out to lunch, and a good therapy session last week.
Today we went out to lunch with a couple of friends. Ate a sandwich and and a soda. Chatted some and even laughed. Mostly talked about work, which is a safe area. But the good thing was, it was for over an hour, we ate and talked like a normal person, in a restaurant with other adults, and didn't screw anything up that we can tell. Hurray!
Mae had a good therapy session the other day. I'm going to just copy and paste what she wrote about it, although I'm going to edit out the name of our therapist.:
[went to see T] and her say i did good. i did cry a litol cus i did tell her when i was 4 about the bad pepol a litol when i did go with no close on and things did be bad and i think it be my falt but i dont want to say now so dont say nothing ok.

hi mae
your T is right, you don't have to feel bad or it was your fault. you did nothing wrong. you seem to be very sweet and a kind little girl. thank you for being so honest.
peace and gentle hugs

good job Mae! you did excellent.
fall is my favourite season. i love all the beautiful colours that i see.
here's a fun "youtube" video of 3 kids playing in the leaves. i remember that you were looking for some videos to watch. playing in the leaves is lots of fun. a great place to just laugh and be a kid.
NOTE TO PILGRIM .. there is some children squealing in delight in this clip. i'm not sure what the triggers might be .. so thought i would mention it.

Dear Mae, We also get worried about Halloween and fall. But what you said about being able to like fall really helped us. Thank you for being so brave to tell about that. Now we feel we can enjoy the good parts about fall. You are very nice and brave.
