Liam–this way, now that way, this way, now that way
Fiona–this way . . . . no, now that way . . . now this way again
Aidan–that way (counter clockwise the whole time)
Later I had a chance to do it with Dugan and he saw it going both ways too!
I was able to see counter clockwise ONLY after looking at it upside down (while showing dh) which, basically, suggests it was still going clockwise but my brain was backwards LOL now I can sometimes see it go counter clockwise.
One thing I find very interesting is how solidly I saw it clockwise (I have known I’m right brained!) and how solidly Aidan saw it counter clockwise–indicating he is dominantly left brained. This so sums up our disconnect and now that I’ve started studying Montessori approaches to things and employing Montessori breaking down of steps for things he is doing so much better!
I could only make it go counter-clockwise. No matter how hard I tried! Both of my kids and my husband saw it going both ways – I guess. My mom saw it going both ways and was amazed that I could only see it going counter-clockwise. Hmmm. Now she wants to invite my sister over so she can try it too.
I can only see it going clockwise. I tried SO hard to see it going the other way, but no way, no how. I’m left handed, by the way…
