One day, we were out shopping with Papa and Grammy. Grace was fine each time we entered a store, but was not happy when it was time to go. If I could give Grace some warning before we shifted gears, it would give her a chance to accept that we were going to do something new soon. I was learning what activities, objects, phrases, toys would interest Grace. I started actually distracting her just like Kimmy.
Grace loves birds, bugs and little animals.
Grace would quiet down as we walked over to investigate. Then she was ready to move onto the next activity. I also started to give 5 minute warnings which really did help. Now Grace will turn the timer off herself. I guess that I forgot to say that she still tests us.
