Random Thoughts of the Day

I was struck by 2 things the past few days. We were at a farm feeding sheep the other day. There was a white donkey in the pen too. Another family came by and the mom remarked "Look at the albino donkey." I just found it interesting that she said that and Frankie was right there and she did not even know he had albinism. With his hat on, you can't even see his hair. Plus most people can't tell anyway. Sometimes things we say effect people in ways we have no idea! Today we were at a science museum and there was a pendulum drawing station. Frankie swung the table and then the marker drew a cool design based on how the table was moving. He was getting really close, of course, to try and see the design being made. The curator asked him to move back behind the line, not realizing his vision. He did, of course, and I did not say anything. I don't always want to make a big deal that he can't see, but want him to be able to access everything, at the same time! He had a great time on both of these days and was totally unaware of what I was feeling. He had fun!!
