Counting to 20

In kindergarten they are working on counting to 20. We adapt the homework since Brookie can't write in her numbers. We made the numbers 1-20 on pieces of paper and then have her eye gaze out of four choices to fill in the next blank. She was FLYING through them so it took me to the number 12 before I realized that I should be recording her doing this!!! She is a little smarty pants!
You will notice that Grammy actually misses Brooklyn picking out the correct answer twice :) Proof that even those of us that are around her all the time can miss her gaze - she is QUICK when she knows the answer!!! I will try to start filming more of her homework to show you all how she is learning and showing us too
For you Rett moms watching this....our girls ARE IN THERE! You have to be patient and help them show you.

This is so brave for a mother to tackle such a situation head on and support her child. My heart goes out to the family and many many praises for being strong. >:D<

You're doing a great job with her.She is precious and you deserve praise.anyone who raises children knows how hard it is but also how rewarding to work with them and be there for them and encourage them no matter the circumstances.

This is actually the first I've heard of this condition before. Brooklyn is so cute, and I think it's amazing that she can communicate with her eyes. Thanks for posting this!!
