I love visual-spatial kids, you know, the kind that are brilliant and amazing yet can't keep up with their lunch boxes. The kind that can't match their clothes or run a comb through their hair. They are my people. But you don't understand them. That's okay, that's what I'm called to do. I'm their advocate. I have lots to say on their behalf and I want to share with you. Read on!

VSL's never outgrow being VSL's
VSL's NEVER outgrow being a VSL. Here is a sample of a VSL mom trying to clean her home: The kitchen is a mess, as usual. She starts in the kitchen somewhere after a moment of anxiety at the task. She picks up a dish to put in the dishwasher (if it has been unloaded) and wonders how many dishes could possibly be in this place. She sees that the toothpaste she purchased yesterday is still on the counter and it must be moved. She takes it to bathroom where she sees that towels need to be washed. She grabs a load of towels that are scattered about and takes them to the laundry room. She starts the washing machine only to discover that there is some leftover change sitting on top of the machine. She takes the change to her purse where she discovers that her purse is a mess too. She takes her purse to the living room floor to clean it out. She dumps it out onto the floor and finds the lollipops she had put in there for the kids to enjoy in the car. She takes the lollipops to the kitchen now because if she waits she'll forget. She takes the lollipops to the kitchen to put them away. She opens the pantry and notices that there is a delicious looking cake mix that she's been dying to make. She pulls it out with all the ingredients then suddenly remembers that over an hour ago she had started loading the dishwasher. So she stops with cake baking and heads back to the dishwasher. Then the phone rings and it's a call from one of her best friends. The conversation is so engaging that she must go out on the deck to not be distracted. She goes to hang up the phone in the kitchen and again notices that the dishwasher is still waiting to be loaded. She again works on loading the dishwasher and manages to load a few more when the children run to her to show her the new creature they found crawling in the yard. This is too exciting to pass up so out to the yard she goes. The kids need a container for the creature so mom runs to find something really cool with air holes and everything. Back to the kitchen she goes only to again see that dishwasher is only half loaded... and this is how goes forever and ever unless this mom's creativity is put to use, she makes money and she can hire someone to clean her house and a personal assistant to help her organize her life. Welcome to my world!
