I play frisbee with my 2 dogs too David! 😮😂😂

Norton enjoys frisbee. 🙂

I love Braylee's star trek t shirt 😊 I also love that you let her play in the mud, so many parents dont let their children explore like this even when their child is neurotypical. Its important to let children experience play like this, it helps their develpment 😀

A messy kid is a happy kid! I agreed so important for development. Messes can be cleaned and she’s just enjoying herself. We see no harm in that.

It seemed like Braylee was truly joyful when she was making the mud soup, scraping it up and throwing it away from the pool area. I was thinking about how muddy her shoes would be. But, they cleaned up really easily.

[@TheWeeFamily]

We try to think ahead. We knew she would want to play in mud. So it makes it easier on all of us.

[@robylove9190]

@@TheWeeFamily Who can blame her. Making mud pies was one of my favorite things to do while I was a kid.

[@jacquicoder7160]

Oh the hoys of playing in the mud! She was really having a great time. In spite of her obvious enjoyment, I was sot of cringing at the mud on her shoes and clothes until I realized she was wearing clogs. Yes, they do clean up wonderfully! The benefits of the sensory play far outweigh the difficulty of clean up, I'm sure.

[@TheWeeFamily]

Crocs are the best. A total must have for us over here. So simple to clean!

[@jacquicoder7160]

@@TheWeeFamily Sorry, I just realized I wrote clogs instead of crocs. Senior moment. 🤪

Sensory input refers to the information our senses receive and process from the environment around us, such as what we see, hear, touch, taste, and smell. Sensory regulation refers to the ability to appropriately respond to and manage sensory input in a way that is comfortable and adaptive. In the context of autism, sensory processing difficulties are common and can affect how individuals with autism perceive and respond to sensory input. For example, some individuals with autism may be hypersensitive or over-responsive to certain sensory stimuli, such as loud noises, bright lights, or certain textures, while others may be hyposensitive or under-responsive to certain sensory stimuli. Sensory overload occurs when an individual receives too much sensory input that is overwhelming and difficult to process. This can lead to feelings of discomfort, anxiety, and even physical pain. Understanding sensory input and regulation is important in the context of autism because it can impact an individual's daily life, including their ability to communicate, socialize, learn, and engage in activities. It is important for individuals with autism, their families, and their caregivers to be aware of and address sensory processing difficulties in order to support their overall well-being. Here is a KZbin video that I watched years ago that helped me kind of understand what sensory overload is like. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZ6neKmnqt-haM0

Some 53 years ago I was send away from kindergarten because I didn't play with the other kids and made "messes with mud". Autism did not exist as a diagnosis and I was just labeled a disruptive kid. Jalous of B. 💜

[@TheWeeFamily]

I’m sorry that things were like that for you. ❤️ I’m glad things are also getting better in that aspect now.

[@Jadyn_Sage]

I don't remember. Is Norton allowed in the pool?

[@TheWeeFamily]

We let him in once, but its quite the task to get him in and out and there’s not a spot for him to rest. But he has his own small pool. Just not big to actually doggie paddle in 😅

[@keepwaaatchinggirl1991]

So does your dog sleep outside?

[@TheWeeFamily]

All of our animals are indoor pets.
