Big day for Canyon

Canyon had his first game for Field Of Angels this morning.  I wish I got this on video, but I had no idea what he was planning to do!


How it goes with this league is that each player hits and then runs to one base.  The last person that is up to hit gets an automatic home-run and everyone comes in.  Canyon was probably 5th or 6th up to bat and he did his bases one at a time like he was suppose to.  But when coming home, he decided to run the whole thing through again!  Everyone laughed and cheered him on.  It was great!

He hates being on the field so we found last year that catcher was a good place for him.  And this year he took it upon himself to claim the spot.  He has a good arm for throwing the balls back to the pitcher.

After the game it was food shop, lunch and naps.  Then we got ready for Canyon 'Spring Fling' put on by BOST. (the company that his waiver person works for who take Canyon places and do things with him a few hours a week)

We have been putting this shirt an tie through some good uses this Spring.  The Pageant, sibling pictures, this dance, and once more next month will be for Jared's graduation.

 

At the dance, as usual, Canyon got shy and clingy.  He refused to do anything or see anyone.  Jared suggested sugar to get him going and what do you know....a chocolate cookie did the trick!!

Canyon shows Jared and Johnathon some moves.

A slow dance with mom :)

The girl is Zoe.  She has Down's too.  She is part of a HUGE (22 adopted kids) family but for some reason she took a BIG liking to Jared.

Canyon loosened up after the cookie and got jiggie with it!

 

 

A fast dance with Mom :)

 

And Jared and Zoe....he told her he has a girlfriend, but she said 'no, you with me!'  And that was that.
