[blparent] Parenting and blindness

[Brandy W]

Maybe it was just something that got on her arm. Sometimes a bit of dried
food or stuck hair will feel like a scrape. The figuring out hurt thing is
so tough, honestly on my highest don't like because I'm blind list. Is that
blood or tears, mucous or drool because once they fall it all comes, and it
is tough to figure it out.

The more they know to tell you the easier it is. It is also helpful to teach
them not to over react so you know when they are hurt. 'I've got the little
girl I watch to say ow, but I'm ok as when she first came every bump was
cause for whales.

As soon as Kahlan is old enough to be able to, I think we're going to have
to teach her to tell us when she gets a bruise or a bump and how. 
That way we can tell anyone who asks, and maybe she'll tell her teachers,
since we teach her to tell us. I think one of you said you already do taht
and it's a very good idea! She had a scrape on her arm today, but then when
I went to check on it later and intended to tell Chris, the scrape was gone.
She's crawling now, but there's nothing on the floor that could have scraped
her, so I have no idea how she got it, unless she scraped herself on her
bouncer, but the almost immediate disappearance of the scrape is strange.

good morning dialog. Either you can yawn and stretch and hit space on the
get out of bed button or tab to the snooze button. Remember if you hit space
on the cancel button, that means that you're not in your right mind to make
a decision at this current time. Cancel button. 
Sorry, we can't accept this response at this time. Please boot me up when
you're really and truly awake. Good bye button.
