I got out the board today and got Kay to draw a couple simple pictures. That worked well but my next project is to get her to do a more complicated project. I'm lucky. Her cousin who is about the same age maybe two or three years younger also has dementia. Her dementia has taken a dramatic difference. She has been diagnosed much more recently but with a more vicious version. She has a hard time swallowing. She has lost a lot of weight and even though she has had it much shorter period of time it is obvious that she is near death. Her sister in law (Betty )who also has it cant read or distinguish colors. I'm not up to date on what else might be wrong. Tomorrow if Kay seems OK I am going to get a real picture and see if she can do anything with it. She draws on a board we can wipe off. If she got really good, which I doubt, I have a large drawing tablet for her to try her drawing on.
Today I drew her a smiley face to get her started. If I give her another idea maybe that will work. Here are the two she did today.
