For some reason, this packet of jellies that i bought for Adri consists of only 3 different coloured jellies - green, yellow and orange.
Very accustomed to routine, Adri knew she could only choose two jellies each time.
Squatting next to the fridge, Adri chooses the flavours she prefersMummy: Ok, Adri. Here are 3 different coloured jellies - green...yellow...and orange!
You can only choose two. Adri take two..
Adri immediately grabs the green jelly! Mummy was shocked that she was that decisive.
Mummy: Ok, Adri, you can only choose 1 more, only 1 (and shows my index finger to her)
Mummy points at the orange jelly: Adri, do you want this? Yes or no?
Adri: Yes....
Mummy was shocked.
Just to be sure that Adri knew what she was saying, Mummy points at the yellow jelly: And this? Yes or no?
Adri: No...
Mummy beams from ear to ear.
Mummy: Ok, Adri wants the green and orange jelly. Mummy will keep the yellow jelly and give Adri the orange one.
Adri grins and holds the two different flavoured jellies, obivously pleased with her choices.
Mummy too, was pleased that Adri knew what she wanted and was involved in a decision making process, a simple yet important process (to her). =D
