Toward Freedom - Day 3 - Gabi winter break trip to GR

Not so free this week since Gabi is on spring break. But took a day trip to GR with Gabi! Haven't gotten out much with COVID and fissure, and since most of our driving has been to Detroit area for Gabi school. It was a good day!! Brought Gabi's lunch as always and she had her iPad and books but actually just read the whole time! Went to the Downtown Market, got ice cream, went into Moose Jaw (me while Gab ate her ice cream outside :)); went to Riverside Park. Gabi stayed in the car reading her book while I explored the frozen Grand River with ducks on it. I didn't make Gabi walk all the way back to the unfrozen part but had her go to the boat launch part. Then we went to Lost and Found. And then came home! A little wrangling over treats at Speedway but we negotiated it out. Emailed Gabi's therapist today too - need to focus so much on learning how to better communicate with her about food, self-esteem, etc.
