learning to describe...
A great game to play with your preschoolers is learning to name an object just from hearing clues and then, in turn, learning to describe objects for you to guess. Logan loves this game. He is still trying to get the hang of it and usually just tells me the animal that he is trying to describing, but we all have a lot of fun with it.
We are hoping to improve on clarity in Logan's speech. With the unexpected loss of our baby last month, Logan's "home therapy" has been slightly neglected and it is really starting to show. We are eager to get the ball rolling again.

We have been busy...
We have had a busy & fun summer. After our west coast trip to the John Tracy Clinic, we stayed with Grandma Boyack in Las Vegas for 3 weeks and then to Virginia and D.C. for 3 weeks to play with cousins at Grandma Cragun's lake house.
We had a sad event happen on August 16th with the death of our unborn baby girl. I was 7 months pregnant--you can read more here.
Logan is progressing day by day and we have a lot of work to do over this next year in order to try to meet our goal of mainstreaming him by kindergarten. He is attending the same Oral program that he attended last year and is excited to be back at school.

We went back...
We have been on the west coast for about 7 weeks and just arrived home last week. Our trip was centered around attending the John Tracy Clinic in LA for their 3-week summer session. It was so nice to be back. I have been waiting for the past year, since leaving LA, to return to all of our friends at JTC. I am always amazed at how much information there is to gain and I loved sitting in the parent classes every day from 9 am-4 pm learning--all over again-- how to better help my Logan.
our cute little apartment...
too many in the elevator...
The Family picnic...
playing in the HUGE yard at our apartments...
They had a "sibling program" that Tanner attended. He absolutely loved it. He made friends, played games and learned a lot about hearing loss and how to help Logan...
The siblings acted out how sound goes through the ear, to the brain. Tanner played the 'stapes'...
some yummy treats that we received from Wonderland Bakery...
Logan and his teacher, Sarah...
Logan and his SLP, Meghan (Meghan was Logan's preschool teacher when we attended a year ago)...
All of our new friends...

WISCONSIN STUDY!!
We went to Wisconsin a couple weeks ago to participate in the Bilateral CI study. We had a fabulous time. We spent 4 days there, two days were spent testing. After each test he got to choose a sticker to put on his sticker box and after every three tests, he got to pick a small prize out of their fun prize box...he loved this!
It was interesting for me to see the different tests that were conducted and to see how Logan is really hearing. He was such a trooper and did great.
The airplane ride there...
a "study break" during the second day of testing...
auditory tests...
expressive language tests...
showing off the "sticker box" and the "prizes" he got for "good listening". ..
We found a homemade popcorn shop and stopped to get a fun treat at the end of a busy day...
Another "study break"...
posing by some of the prizes...
When all the testing was done, they let him choose from a big prize box. This was the "prize" he choose he loves it and it hasn't left his side since...
This isn't a great video, it was day two of the study and the end of the day, so needless to say, he was a bit worn out. Also, it's a little difficult to hear and the picture is dark, but it's a little bit of our time participating in the study...
