In the blink of an eye... (reposting)
Dear Forum Mates,
Join me on my little walk down memory lane. This thread is almost 3 years old and reminds me of where we were in my beloved's progression at that time. We all got a little (or big!) chuckle out of some of the antics our LOs were able to get into "in the blink of an eye".
This is a stress reliever as we laugh with each other (but never at our LOs who are doing the best they can). And it also is a teaching moment to help keep them safe, as some things you just would never expect (like my DH enjoying a snack from the tub of zinc oxide butt cream a few weeks ago that didn't harm him thank goodness, but what a reminder that we can't take anything for granted with dementia). He's now Stage 7 but I was reminded never to underestimate this disease.
Click on "View Post" to read the hilarious reflections and then feel free to add your "aha" moments and your LOs creativity. Have a good day!
