The anxiety that Scott often feels makes me search for things that he can do. After a trying afternoon I had an idea of bringing out the blocks in the playroom and I set them on the table and encouraged him to see what he could build. It worked for about a half an hour and he intently picked out the blocks he would use and put together a creation. The best part was that Angela and the kids stopped by for a few minutes and I said to Caleb, "you are just in time to see what Grandpa built." He walked into the living-room and when he saw it he excitedly proclaimed, COOL! I looked at Scott's face and he had a smile on his face. I haven't been able to have him try again but it was a brief respite from his anxiety.
