We did the drive in last year (before it got too hot) and loved it…Nim’s Island was perfect for the setting and the kids loved sitting in the back of the van with the seats backward eating potato chips out of the bag.

We tried the drive-in recently to see Up and it was a lot of fun! I have alot of fond memories of the drive-in so it was nostalgic as well!
Sophie is only 6 though and, unless even at home and comfortable she is still hard to manage, than probably is just a bit delayed around being in control of herself? It’s not unusual for kids with DS to also have ADD but she certainly does not sound autistic! I know for mine- I take special care to review the behavioral norms simply and firmly before I go anywhere where I might need to expect better behavior and good listening and I make sure she repeats them back to me, even at 9! It really helps us but perhaps that is something you’ve already tried! Sorry for the unasked for advice if you find that offensive…
See my latest post- argghh! PS- In building movies I have to bring earplugs since it is so loud that it can make my child uncomfortable and thus the hands over the ears for her!

I’ve been thinking of your appointment with Dr. Death (that’s her name right?) and thinking it was coming up soon.
The drive-in sounds amazing! Sophie was in her element. I love the Princess and the Pea analogy.
I could totally see a water park giving off a cool breeze. I swear parts of Broadway in Times Square are cooler from all the stores with their massively powerful a/cs and their open doors-we won’t talk about what that’s doing for the environment though, will we?
Note to self: must rent “Mama Mia” for Leo.
