Ben Meets the Good Doctor

I drove Ben to Maryland today for his appointment with his new DAN! Developmental Pediatrician. It was a less than stellar visit on his part. To put it bluntly, Ben went after her glasses and scratched her face. I guess it shouldn't entirely surprise me, but it is embarassing to have your child do that to someone. She was good about it, but I felt horrible for the rest of the visit. Especially after I had said last week that he wasn't very aggressive. I guess the operative word is very. Still, I should know better than to blog after a day like today, but I thought everyone would want to know what happened. As for her thoughts on Ben, I won't find that out until next week, when I go back by myself. Today's one of those noisy weird days for him, and his verbal stimming (ie yelling, making gasping sounds) is high. I'm feeling less motivated than usual and a little sad that I can't take the girls to an event at their school because I can't take Ben with us on a day like today. I'm sure they'll get over it, but still, it makes me sad. His ABA therapist is sick today, so no therapy for him either. *sigh*
