I am sitting on our new patio with the table that Mom and I found. It works great because my wheelchair can go right up to the table. I am typing with my keyboard on the table. It is a sunny morning. Beau is getting his hooves trimmed.
I wanted to share that I am wearing sunglasses. I usually can’t stand to have them on my face, but today it is great. I love how they help my eyes. Here’s a picture of me wearing them.

It helped me in the sun to wear the sunglasses
I don’t know if other Rett girls have the same struggle I do with glasses on their face, but it has always been something I can hardly tolerate. When I was very young I wore eyeglasses because my vision is so poor. But by the time I was five I couldn’t keep them on my face for more than five seconds. They drove me crazy. They felt so ticklish on my face that I couldn’t keep them on. Today is the first day that I’ve been able to wear sunglasses. Last summer we discovered that a visor is ok and I can usually keep it on for a while before I get restless.

Our new patio is great for my wheelchair

The new patio looks great, and you are certainly “stylin” in those sunglasses! I really thought your notes to your mom and sister were inspired as well!
