And happy Labor Day. It's been a busy few days.
Yesterday, went to Stacey's recital at her church. Mr. Samoa and I being a Presbyterian and lapsed Orthodox Lutheran (Catholic lite) respectively, we were a bit at sea with the Baptist thing but we had fun. Mr. Samoa hadn't gotten to meet Stacey before, so that was cool.
Today, went to the Renaissance Faire with a resident. We had a good time; she liked the jugglers. But the thing that surprised me- she was afraid of the Renaissance garb at first. She hadn't seen it before! And she's 40! It's really amazing the stuff people miss out on just by being mentally disabled. People think they won't like it and they do. They have a term for it in MRDD theory, it's called "poverty of experience". Basically, they "only like" certain things because no one ever thinks to have them try new ones. All the more reason for everyone to try new things!
