Kevin used to regularly say (or ask): "play with my feet!" Which meant to pick up and handle his feet and pretend he was walking or dancing or running; playing with Kevin's feet usually required a creative or imaginative story to go along with the movement of his feet.
Often, on the bus ride home, Kevin would ask to have his shoes taken off (so he would have better feeling and fun while I played imaginatively with his feet) ... pretending to run bases or jump over tall buildings--there really were no limits to where Kevin's immovable body would go. Kevin was constantly asking for playful and meaningful engagement, where his immobile body would magically come to life.
