A big shout out and thank you from our family to Macy's for their sensory friendly shopping event this weekend. The store opened 90 mins early by invitation only and each child invited received a gift card to spend and was paired with a personal shopper to help with choosing items.
We decided to make this a practice in self-advocacy and self-determination for Little One and did not put any restrictions, other than financial, on what she was allowed to select and purchase for herself. True to form, she was a very decisive shopper that put her assistant through the wringer with her clear preferences and vision for herself. Eventually and without a doubt, she ended up with a pair of golden high heels and a white cocktail dress.

We're thankful that our community creates targeted opportunities for our children to safely explore, learn, and grow.
That's amazing for her!
