She tried to wear the same clothes as yesterday. She tried to wear the same clothes as yesterday. 
💜
A few weeks ago I tried to give her a shower but I couldn’t. When dealing with an #alzheimers individual, they can be extremely stubborn, verbally lethal, and even aggressive. 
💜
Today I told myself I would go through with giving her a shower. 
💜
And even though she didn’t want to follow me into her room, or take off her two sweaters and blouse,  tried to put her clothes back on numerous times, said what used to be her favorite swear word when she would get angry (before her illness): mierda (shit), asked where she was taking a shower and why, said she wasn’t taking a shower in THAT stall... I spoke sternly but in a calm way. 
💜
I felt like a mother trying to calm an anxious child, and yet I was a daughter trying to get her mother to shower. 
💜
She still needed to take her undergarments off and I offered to turn around so she wouldn’t feel embarrassment. That worked. 
💜
When I turned back around I covered her in a towel and turned the water on and had her go in. 
💜
She instantly relaxed. 
💜
She asked me what she was supposed to do in there. 
💜
I gave her soap and shampoo. Then I told her I’d be back. I was just going to get her clothes. 
💜
The first thing I did was get all of her dirty clothes and bring it downstairs to the washer. If she saw those clothes again it would be a fight to want to wear them. Out of sight, out of mind (the irony). 
💜
I searched for new clothes and laid everything out. Grabbed more towels and checked on her. 
💜
She hadn’t shampooed so I showed her what to do and she did it. She asked me not to leave her alone because she needed my help. 
💜
She thanked me for helping her. She was so grateful and so nice and for a second I swear, it was like she was my mom again 🥲 
💜
I took her back to her room and she got dressed from head to toe in fresh clothes. I heard my dad call for her. 
💜
He didn’t know I had given her a shower but I’m sure my son told him because he didn’t come up.
💜
I held her hand as we went down the stairs. 
💜
My dad thanked me. 
💜
I shrugged my shoulders and walked quickly to the kitchen so he wouldn’t see the tear that fell.
(Swipe 👈🏻) It snowed on Tuesday, so the kid (Swipe 👈🏻)  It snowed on Tuesday, so the kids had an impromptu snow class added into their regular lesson. 
❄️
We started with water beads. Little Henry’s speech therapist introduced them to us a few years ago and the kids love playing with them. 
❄️
Then we colored a snow globe worksheet and then we made snow globes out of baby food jars. I picked up 4 little figurines foe the children to pick and choose which one they wanted then we created and decorated our snow globes. 
❄️
Then we did a worksheet on snow facts and drew snowflakes (no picture). 
❄️ Next we made snowmen using empty plastic bottles and cotton balls. I gave the kids several items to embellished the snowmen and the only thing I did was hot glue everything together 😂 
❄️ Then came the big surprise. We didn’t go outside because it was so cold, so I brought the snow inside. Fake snow that is! I found a simple recipe online with only two ingredients and after measuring and mixing, we had our fake snow. Unfortunately I only had enough for one batch but next time I’ll be sure to make more!
❄️ The kids loved this activity the most and I relished in the joy of sitting back and watching them play. 
❄️ We added some mini animals to the snow and some tools for then to play with also and then I peaced out 🤣 and let those kids go to town! 
❄️
