Still not ready for crowds

This past week has been a test for Morgan. She has certainly been challenged by having to stay indoors due to the cold weather. She loves being outside a lot! However, she has done pretty well. Yes, she has led us to the door several times, requesting to go out by touching the door. And yes, she does get frustrated, but we have been trying to redirect her and keep her busy with all her indoor activities. She has managed to not have too many melt downs. Even at Sunday school, in the nursery, they remarked on how well she was doing. So, we thought we would try and be like a normal, sociable family and attempt to eat with our church family for Thanksgiving. This was a mistake. I really think the large crowd and noise triggered her, and the melt down started. Away we went, back home, as Will was complaining about missing out on all the great deserts. Back at home, she was happy as could be. Although, I am so thankful she is more calm at home, it is hard not to be able to go to social gatherings. I have to focus on the positives to date, rather than how far we have to go. And be thankful that our friends, family, and church are understanding of what we go through. It's not that we don't want to socialize, it's just difficult right now.
