THE OLD TRAIN DEPOT IN LAWRENCE KANSAS

This is where I find myself spending a lot of time these days.  We were called to Lawrence, Kansas to help out with our 4 yr old grandson who was having trouble in day care. Not just 1 day care but 3. As the weeks unfolded Mom and Dad realized that they needed to seek professional help for him. We are now waiting for an appointment at Childrens Mercy in Kansas City.  We do not know what the diagnosis will be but the signs and symptoms point towards aspergers.  I am writing this not for sympathy but in the hopes that someone reading this may have experienced this and may be able to shed some light on our situation.  Many things seem to frustrate him and make him angry but on the flip side he can be very happy but you must keep him busy every waking moment with no time for yourself.
The following photos are where we spend a lot of our afternoons. Thomas loves trains and Grandma loves to take photos. This is a win win situation for both of us.

 The old train station is now the Lawrence, Ks visitors center.

 We count cars and learn our numbers from the numbers on the engine.

The old luggage cart is fun to play on.       Below, view of downtown Lawrence, Ks from visitors center.
