Not a One Trick Pony (Jaden Blog Entry) There are just some things in life that we all naturally gravitate toward - mommy pursues much-needed sleep, Gavin moves toward my in-motion fists, and, I like to be surrounded by the ladies. In fact, those of you who are long-time readers of my blog are aware that I'm a player, with a couple of my past moves already well-documented:
Flashback to 2005: When I was 6 months old, I played 'The Protector' by using the "stop short" Frank Costanza move on the playground slide when a 1 year old girl slid behind me. For a refresher on the story, please see my archived blog entry named 'Girlfriend at the Park' found at the bottom of http://jadencrib.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_archive.html
Recent Moves in 2008: Last month, I played 'The Smooth Operator', as I tried to undress my friend Katelyn - please see my recent post labeled 'Big Date' for a quick review.
But as a 'player' in the moment, I need to keep the ladies guessing what I might do next, and as my friend Catie found out, I can also be the 'Playful Close Friend' - we fell down together to have a moment during our innocent tag game.
Serious Side Note
By the way - for those who don't know, I have autism, and to help me in my recovery, I undergo intense Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) Therapy every weekday plus additional speech therapy on the weekend. The therapy focuses on learning through repetition and reward, and introduces new information, language, life skills, and social skills. Thursday is specifically dedicated to learning social skills, which means that I get to spend 1:1 time with my great friend Catie!
Catie participates by just being a super friend while playing different games with me (as the therapist facilitates the play and guides me toward increased play interest, improved social interactions, and appropriate response to the various situations).
