Visual Learners

Good Morning!

Don't you love this old fashioned carriage? Doing research for a book I'm writing and had to see one up close and personal. I wanted to feel the wheels so to speak.

Ryan and I love museums. He's so visual. He gets ten times more out of seeing something than reading about it. His senses start working overtime and he's got it.

We try to make his life environment and sensory rich. Bath time is filled with colored light and air jets. Time in the back yard is filled with gardening, playing with the dog and grilling. Day-long road trips are filled with stops to view sites, visit museums and eat different foods. Even though Ryan likes his routine he has an adventuresome side that, when saturated with new sites, will embrace new sights, sounds, smells and sensations.

Lately every time we get a nice day we run. The dog is starting to resent sunny days I think. Poor little thing. We've figured out the area museums and will fit those in on rainy days, unless they're outside museums.

All that to say ... museums are a staple with our children. So many of them learn by seeing.
Have a fun Sunday,
Much love and joy,

Karen
