Trip to Phoenix with Cory

Every 3 months I have to go to Phoenix with Cory for an evaluation, and since other children are asked not to join for the session, Cory and I get some good ol' one-on-one every three months. It has become something we really look forward to.

Here's us at the beginning of the day, all raring to go!

(I just love his expression!!!)

We met with Bob Doman (founder of the NACD) for this particular appointment, and he was impressed with the growth Cory has made, and had some helpful comments about how to deal with his "avoidance bahavior" which has been a significant problem over the past few months.

Yay for people who know about this stuff and share it with little moms like me.

We decided to make this trip extra special by going by the temple this time. Come to find out, it was only about 20 minutes away from where we have his appointment!!

Petrified wood...Cory thought it was AWESOME!

Cory is the iddy biddy dot at the end of the pool.

I gave Cory the camera to shoot pics of whatever he wanted to show Bryson. I won't post all of them (he really liked ALL the flowers), and he had some not-so-attractive shots of me walking away (ay!), but here's one he took of me, please ignore the piece of a finger at the top.




Me and one of my best buds ever!

Cory and I have a tradition of going to Subway when we go to his NACD appointments because there is a Subway really close to where we meet, well, this time since we went to the temple, we had to go searching for a Subway. I tried to offer him something else that was closer, but he was very insistant that we go to Subway because it was our special thing. I LOVE IT!

Cory was introduced to Bahama Bucks, and seemed to enjoy it....

A lot.

And the aftermath:

Crashing on the way home (no, not the car!). Don't mind the pic being a little off-center, I was driving 80 and trying to take a picture.

Thank you, mom, for making this trip with just Cory possible!
