zh, I'm glad you were able to find things you thought had been lost forever! That's such a neat feeling! I know it was very important to you!

yep, play-doh sounds great. We have been collecting rocks. It's been very helpful and peaceful to most of us. This past Tuesday in t, we went through the rocks and it was so relaxing! T looked at every one that he was shown. He was very nice. We spent the rest of the time talking about things done to help self relax and "escape" way back. My eyes were heavy, I was so relaxed!

Too, we do an etching kinda picture thing. It has a little tool that you scratch away black stuff and foil is underneath and it comes through and makes a pretty picture. We also do paint by numbers. These things I am talking about about can be shared and is so, so, so fun and feels good! Best of all though, they help to calm all.
