This little girl stayed over at my neighbor's house for a few days one summer, and we spent a lot of time together. The neighbor's and the little girl's parents wanted to go out one night, so she stayed with us. She was captivated by my diabetes, so I explained everything I did before dinner time. I poked my finger, gave my shot, and she was intrigued by it all. I guess I've been an advocate/teacher a lot longer than I thought :)
Yes, you have!
ReplyDeleteI occasionally catch my 4 yr old son teaching his classmates about his diabetes. In a way that only a 4 yr old can.
It makes me proud and sad all at the same time.
