[blparent] Still using visual gestures with other blind people

[Veronica Smith]

So, you've heard the saying, out with the baby, out with the brain.  Since
thisisn't your first baby, we already know part of your brain is missing.
Just wait till your next is born, what will you do then? (lol) smile! V

Right? I just did it again the other day. I've spent the last week camped
out on the couch with a severe sinus cold. On Saturday, I finally was
feeling better and decided to eat something more substantial. Ross gave me a
bowl of cereal, and while we were talking, I finished it then held my arm
out with the bowl in my hand wondering why he wasn't taking it from me. As
he kept talking, I was like, hey dude, I'm holding this bowl out, then I
started laughing. Ross was confused, so I explained how I'd been handing him
my bowl for a couple of minutes, frustrated that he wasn't taking it. LOL I
guess I can use the excuse that I'm pregnant and a bit spacey lately, ha-ha.
Seven years, and I still do this with Ross, and with his RP, he sees less
now than he did seven years ago. You'd think I'd remember by now, grin.

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter

I do that all the time and my husband is always saying to me about me,
shaking your head?  Aren't you the one that always complains when others do
that?  Or my daughter last week, "mommy I thought I saw  you gesturing for
us to come over here but honestly, the kids across the room thought you were
pointing at them as well."  Too too funny, I knew who I was calling, why
didn't they? Ha ha
