I sometimes wear 3 or 4 pairs of pants and several shirts and sweaters under my jacket just to stave off frostbite. Haha, yeah not much of an answer for you since you probably don't have the same weather concerns.<br /><br />And maybe Ashley is just growing up and is ready to be more independent? Can she see/get around better in the daytime? As my CNIB OT told us once (she has a client who is completely blind and is about 5 years old) the parents let him sleep in their bed because they said he must be so afraid to be alone in the dark since he's blind. She pointed out that the child could see no better whether it was daytime or night time.<br /><br />So I'm just wondering if she has trouble with bumping into things with the lights on or just when it's dark. I'm still not sure how Skyler will do with that. He seems to see pretty well in the dark actually (though not any further than usual mind you.)<br /><br />As for strange things, Skyler is like his parents, pretty much everything he does is strange. Haha. I'm sure he has his own reasons for doing them though.Azaerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00778026696324592463noreply@blogger.com
