We have been busy lately with the start of school and therefore...I have neglected the blog. Logan is loving school. He is doing well and has definitely become more expressive. Although we don't understand all that is being said we are already at that point where we are saying to ourselves, "Does he ever stop to breath?"
We are set up to see the audiologist this Thursday for the first time since moving to Florida and are crossing our fingers that a second CI is in our future. We are also set up with a great
AVT and will see her soon.
Logan had a great time at a
church water activity last weekend even though I wouldn't let him wear his CI due to all the water (although it has already fallen in the pool
and in the toilet and has survived). The fire department came, which was Logan's favorite part.
We found lots of fun today with a big cardboard box, paint and little paper men. Logan's puppet was Daddy. We really haven't role played much and I didn't know that Logan even knew how, but it was hilarious to watch him as he told stories as if he were Dad. "I Daddy, I go school...I Daddy, I go school..." (My husband is in a dental residency so he wears blue scrubs and goes "to school") Tanner would explain the "play" to Logan and then they would act it out for me and Chase. Logan wouldn't get all of the details, but it was great to see him say or do the parts that he understood. Tanner would say, "Logan you sit on the tree and I will throw you a ball." Logan would walk his puppet over to the three and sit on top. Then he said, "Up tree, I want ball." Tanner looked at me and said, "Mom, I didn't even sign and Logan knew what I was saying." It put such a smile on my face to see my boys playing "normally" together.
Before having a child with deafness I never stopped to listen to the rain. I find that that is true with many sounds around me. I am grateful for the small and simple things that I am able to experience through Logan.
