Tales from the field...

Last night one of the Pinebrook clients and his grandmother arrived a little early for his appointment, so they were there when I walked my previous client to the waiting room. Once we got in the therapy room, my client's grandmother asked me if I had other clients. She seemed a little suprised at this! I was speachless. I have been seeing them for about eight months now and she just realized that her grandson is not my only client!

Just Cute

Tonight I had my client,M, doing a packet about herself (with my help of course). The one page was about your family tree. When I told her this, she screwed her face up and then, with a very confused look on her face, said "umm..I don't have a family tree". I explained what a family tree was, but I think she was still a little confused.

Oy Vey

I started a new client tonight, M. I cannot honestly say that it was a good start, but it was a start. M lives in Allentown, so I figured I did not need directions, but I mapquested the address as a back up. So naturally, I got lost and wound up being a half hour late. Thankfully, her mother wasn't upset about this. She seemed friendly and m is adorable. However, I realized about half way through that in my mad dash to get to the client, I had forgotten to take a drink and was now desperately in need of one- I smelled the dry mouth smell at one point. M didn't seem to be bothered by this, but her mother asked if I needed a drink. How embarassing!! It wouldn't have been so bad if this wasn't the first time we were meeting. I'm just going to have to make sure that my breath smells minty fresh the next time.
