Watching Kimmie

People often comment that they like to sit where they can see Kimmie. Usually this is at church. People often find her fascinating to watch as she signs, rocks and fiddles with her shoestrings.

When we take Kimmie places I am the one who sits with her assisting and keeping her occupied. The other day I had the opportunity to switch places.

We went to Kimmie's high school senior class awards program, and I was able to hand her off to a classroom assistant who helped her through the program. She was sitting on the front row where we had a good view of her.

It was nice to be on the other side and be the one watching Kimmie.

And best of all she was really good through the entire program. I only saw her sign "Bethany gone" once, and it was right before her name was called to receive an award. Great way to distract her from Bethany!
