We have a whole closet of things she was dying to have, then has hardly worn. When we went shopping recently, I made a deal with her. I said that if new things weren't worn within one week, she had to PAY ME for them out of her own money! I'm such a mean ol' mom! I hadn't thought about an OCD angle (as doesn't have sensory problems with clothing), but now you've got me thinking (scary!)..........

OK. . . did have to help the staff understand what their job description was but all the kids were so enthusiastic about choosing their shoes and once they had their shoes on they all wore them out of the store. had fun just watching all the excitement. PS - don't throw away those blue caps (they go to the shelves) Kathy >> I just LOVE hearing about list people meeting! I can't imagine taking Seth to the shoe store, let alone 5 kids! LOL Seth thinks he's in heaven just being at gymnastics with all the dangly, stimming shoes lying all around. The shoe store is one place that is out of bounds for us!

Maybe that's a good thing? LOL People haven't stopped Seth from trying to take the shoes right off THEIR feet! LOL He has made a few little ones cry when he steals their shoes off their feet and takes off running with them. LOL One little 3 year old was showing off her new sparkly pink sneakers at gymnastics. She went up to Seth and said " See. " LOL That was all it took! He grabbed that off her foot soooooooo fast, she let out a God awful shriek and he raaaaannnnnnn for the door. LOL She cried for an hour, clutching her new shoes. I ended up taking Seth home because he was insistent that he WAS going to dangle that sparkly, pink sneaker. LOL I think her Mother is over the incident, but that little girl is still traumatized and doesn't go NEAR Seth anymore. Maybe being afraid of people would be a good thing in this case? LOL How is doing? How are you doing? Gail :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of a few weeks ago, Duff and I took Allie and Maddie to Arboretum (a gorgeous, massive horticultural center here) and we let Maddie run the hills....with me following pushing her empty stroller. Well, we bumped into a little family pushing a baby in a stroller...YEP, Maddie proceeded to climb into the stroller with baby still in it!!!! Scared the daylights out of poor baby AND Mom and DAd...LOL.....Maddie and Seth....they have more in common than their pica and love of shoes, huh Gail??? LOL is doing ok. She finished up day program at Renfrew and her doctor is trying to persuade her to do outpatient (which is 3 nights a week, mostly group meetings). She's not happy about that, but we're sitting back and letting Jane (the doc) be the *bad guy* here. I am sure she'll do it; it's not in her nature to NOT do what's asked of her. I'm hanging in there Gail. It's scary, now that she's not as monitored. I took her out to buy her new jeans the other day and she told me she thinks she's a size 8.......uh uh!!! 5/6!!!!! (And she's 5'5 " ) But her spirits are good, and she's acting more like herself. Day by day. Thanks for asking Gail!!!! DOnna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 Sharon, how cool! I would love to see a picture of you in that shirt. Too bad the jeans were too big. (Ain't that wonderful?) Little moments like that remind me that if I don't lose anymore, I really can't complain. I have my life back. A life I didn't even know I was missing out on. Is it like that for you? Congratulations on the loose size 14's! Hugs! Tracey > Well just for the heck of it I tried them on, pulled them up, > buttoned them and zipped them! Unbelievable!!!!! > But, alas, I didnt buy them as they were to big in the waist and > gapped....even more unbelievable. > 18 mos ago I waddled into the hospital wearing a pair of size 30/32 > jeans and a 3xl shirt.... > and the miracle continues... > > Sharon in Onyx > who also bought 2 pair of capris and another shirt at > wallyworld. shopping is hard work...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
