[blindkid] Picking out Clothes

[Traci Wilkerson]

My kids are almost 6 and 8 and I am wondering when you started labeling
their clothes so they could pick out their own clothes?  I hang most of my
daughters clothes b/c she wears alot of dresses and skirts/tops combo's.
My son's clothes are in drawers.  I know I should always do what I can to
push their independence, but I'm also going to have to change the way I
shop if I start letting them pulling their own outfits!  ha!

When you do let them pull their own clothes, how do you mark so they know
what the outfit is?  Do you label colors, etc.  My son likes to know what
is on his shirt (picture, etc) but he is just learning braille, so he
couldn't read it if I typed it up for him....   My daughter could read it,
but she would only need to know colors, etc.  I'm thinking this would make
them more aware of the colors they are wearing as well and learn what
colors go together (at least what I think goes together - :)   ).

Thanks for your help!
