[blparent] Attending convention with a sighted toddller

[Julie J]

My son was 9 at his first convention.  He did go to the NFB camp.  He met 
some kids there and generally had a good time.   By the end of the week he 
was getting a bit bored though.

I did want to mention that there is a list of people willing to baby-sit. 
It's available at the check in desk at the NFB camp.  It's a courtesy thing, 
none of those individuals have been screened or gone through background 
checks or anything.   I wouldn't have a problem calling someone from the 
list and asking for references, but that's just me.  *smile*

The hotel in Dallas has a very nice park like area in the back.  My son and 
I spent a lot of time out there.  There's a nice walking path, a little 
stream, fish pond, a footbridge and metal sculptures.   Sometimes little 
kids just need to run, yell and roll in the grass!  Or at least mine did at 
that age.

HTH
