Mom had to get new glasses this week. That sentence makes the task sound so simple, it didn't end up that way. We headed out around noon to the eye dr. and didn't get back until 3. Picking out the actual frames she wanted is what took so long. As she was going through the racks she would pick up frames that she liked try them on, say she didn't like them or that they were to dark or too big and put them back. After doing this through 2 entire racks she would repeat the process, forgetting what she had tried on. When we are met with situations like this I usually let her go at whatever it is at her own pace, thinking about what it is she wants or figuring out on her own what it is she needs. I want her to keep her neurons firing as much as possible which isn't always easy to have the patience for but, I do my best.
After about 30 mins she kept gravitating towards the ones she liked, asking me if they were too big or too blah? of course they weren't they were so cute and finally after another 15 minutes she agreed and we were on our way to seeing clearly :) this a pic i took, she wasn't even posing is the funny part, she is just animated like this all the time:
