Marty goes to the mall??? Say what???
Jon Paul really wanted to share Marty with his friend Lily... but due to packed schedules (end of sports, dance recitals, end of the school year, ect...) We only had a tiny window... Saturday night. Unfortunately the local library closes early, so we decided to meet, of all places, at the mall food court. That's were Marty and Lily fell in love...
But I digress... This is Lily... She's a 5 year old preschooler who is visually impaired due to ROP... (aren't they cute?!)... Lily's mom, Lisa, would really like Lily to have the benefit of Braille. She was thrilled to have the opportunity to spend a little time with "Marty"...

After a quick lesson, Lily, with the help of mom, Lisa went to town! Lisa did remark that she's never seen Lily so engaged with a Brailler before! Lily has little interest in her standard Perkins Brailler and she did well with the SMART Brailler's instant feedback. We talked about the applications while Lily explored the SMART Brailler. After a bit, I brailled her name, L-I-L-Y... and when Marty ready it back, Lily squealed in delight!
A fun evening out... another win for Marty!
