... and you just can't wait until Mom says the cookies are done cooking and ready to eat?
.... and after all, you ARE a big 6 year old...
... who has really long legs and arms now...
... so you can reach things that your parents didn't know you could reach.
... like opening the toaster oven to pull the cookies out?
...You are smart so you know to use a oven mit to protect your hands...
... but you have a deep, deep sensory need...
... one that's so second nature that you don't even think about it.
... like needing to touch things to your chin
 |
| Remember this photo from September? |
... you can't explain why, whether you're smelling things or testing their temperature...
... so you grab that hot cookie sheet with your oven mit and without thinking, touch it to your chin!
OUCH!!!
After a few minutes you need relief and ask for the "boo boo pack". Mom notices something's amiss.
... she takes a look at how you're using the ice pack and sees a thin, white line on your chin and recognizes that you've gotten in a pickle.
... you know you need something to take the pain away but the thought of weird medicine on your FACE seems so scary
... that though you didn't cry when you burned yourself, tears fall at the thought of that squishy stuff on your chin!
Eventually you settle back down again and wonder how long it will be before you feel like yourself again!
