When Alex got home from his day program his aide was talking about Dollar Tree. Alex got his treats and Ben felt left out. Ben said “Dollar Tree, please,” and words have power. It’s only a few blocks away and we went on a walk the way we usually go. Sadly there was a very aggressive dog that started barking at Ben from behind a fence, so we turned around and went up the other corner of the street. The property wrapped around to that street too, so the dog charged around the house and barked at Ben again. We had to cross the street, go down half a block, then cross the street again to get to Dollar Tree. Shopping went well. Ben got his treats and we took a different way home.
