Chase had two adventures today: a major one and a minor one. For the major adventure, Chase and Nanaw attended a puppet show at the Telegraph Road library. Nanaw wasn’t sure Chase would like it but Mama encouraged them to go – and it turned out perfectly. Chase seemed to really enjoy the show – Mother Hubbard’s cupboard, starring a dog. He sat on Nanaw’s lap watching the show for 45 minutes, pretty much a miracle. He clapped and laughed and looked around watching the other children. Nanaw bought him two DVDs of puppet shows, and he watched the one about the spider in the afternoon and really paid attention to it. The minor adventure was a visit to Schnucks with Nanaw. Nanaw held Chase’s hand and let him walk from the car into the store and then all around the store. Chase seemed to really enjoy all the walking. At the self-checkout, Chase made a break for freedom, and Nanaw had to run after him to catch up. Fortunately, another shopper blocked him as he headed toward the door and freedom.
