Well, I found the shoes to go with the Minnie Mouse outfit & they arrived Saturday. Since Lonnie was home and saw the mailman deliver the package - he got all the credit!! She was very excited to get the shoes, but all weekend talked about how "Max the mailman" brought her yellow shoes. This is another typical aspect of autism - they percieve things very much in the "here & now" - the future is hard to comprehend. And because "Max" is the one who brought the shoes - he is responsible for getting them for her. If I say "no, Mom bought the shoes" she will repeat that, but then turn around and talk about how Max got the shoes for her. Ah well, at least she is happy now - her outfit is complete.
