Artist in the House

Today the artist that has been working on a project with Finley returned to finish their project. He brought with him another one of this art students, which Finley loved.

They spent a few hours this afternoon (yet another lovely half day for the students) and they had a blast. They finished their masterpiece, and it came out really cute!

So here is the final product!

Hey friends:

It's Shayla

I hope things for Finley's race are still going smoothely.

I hope you won't mind me asking this question about Finley's vision? It's fine if I don't get an answer.

Since Finley lost all of her central vision and only has about10% remaining in her peripheral vision, is it harder for her to locate the carera when you take her picture? Does she listen more to voice cues, then sight cues to get her too look at the camera?

I was just wondering because since her vision declined, she doesn't seem to look straight at the camera anymore.
Thanks!

Have a great evening!; April 13, 2013 at 1:43 AM
