What We Did In The Mountains

Work came home from my daughter today.   She apparently just types things on her mind when she has free time at the end of the day.   This is a fairly good explanation of what happened on our mountains trip to visit my parents from her perspective:

There was a third page but it gets into the confusing specifics of a game on her iPad that maybe Mimi can explain since she was playing it with her.   Note that Marissa, her braillest, has translated what my daughter wrote exactly, letter for letter including punctuation.   Some of the words I din’t know if my daughter has learned yet, but she’s phonetically spelling them out.

I don’t know about you, but I wasn’t writing this much and this clearly at the start of first grade.   It’s impressive how much education has advanced since when I was my daughter’s age.

The Big Boy Update:  My husband and I went out to lunch with my son today.   It’s very interesting having only one child with you and having a child who doesn’t need to be escorted across the street or other things related to low vision.  We had a good time with him at lunch.   He told us about a lot of things.   He’s a pretty interesting little human.   We need to make sure we spend enough time with him alone.   His sister by necessity has to have more help in some cases, but he’s just as important to us.

The Tiny Girl Chronicles:  My daughter came into the bathroom this morning and fell on the floor in a ball.   She told me, “I’m so disappointed; Nana is going to play a video game with my brother and I have to go to school.”   My son hasn’t started school yet and Nana was going to spend some time (watching him) while my husband and I had a meeting coming up.  Nana explained that she would be spending time with just her too coming up soon and I think my daughter was okay about it.
