We were waiting on my brother the other night to go to the Oktoberfest-- and I had the radio on in the truck... Adam heard his 'favorite song' and next thing I know the truck started rocking-- lucily I had the camera in the truck to take to the Hockey game... LOVE that he didn't stop when I...

Got this in an email from a friend today-- had to laugh.

Pretty interesting mix here... saw some familliar names (some ADers went to some of these schools...) but guess what-- no Harvard or Yale :shock::shock: Top 25 Colleges Ranked By Recruiters - WSJ.com

So Adam's really starting to pick up his ASL-- this week (since last Friday) I've seen several new ones w/him... he watched one "Signing Times" Segment and walked away w/a new sign just from that!! He's picked up... Hat Shoes Play Train (choo-choo-- that one comes w/sound effects) Help...

Since I have a toddler this age-- this interested me... glad the tot is ok though, and his family doesn't blame the moose! Moose attacks toddler

I'm starting to look across the country at different deaf schools for Adam-- I've got about a year before he goes into pre-school so I figured that should give me the time I need to- in order to research schools and the surrounding areas (job and housing markets, etc) I stumbled upon the...

Just reading these-- made me SICK... Scariest New Restaurant Foods There’s an arms race going on, and it could mean disaster for your waistline. But this terrifying competition to build the biggest, scariest weapons of mass destruction isn’t happening between the United States and...

Ok so we went to Cincinnati Children's Hospital for two days this week... Adam saw the ENTIRE ENT/Audi/Speech and Developmental team I swear... Weds appointments were from 9am-5pm, w/a 30 minute break for lunch... We got excellent news from the Developmental ped- his visual skills rank age...

Ugh... yesterday we went to a function at Adams school and he was playing in a bouncehouse/maze so I took his HAs off so they didn't get messed up... I put them (and his ear gear covers/bungee) in my pocket and I thought I clipped them to my belt loop... well he was tired and so we left to go...

I have decided to take Adam out of his Oral Only school and go the ASL route... (and after he's got a grasp on ASL we'll go Bi-Bi when he starts learning written language) I'm positive I'll get flack from some of the Audist's here but this is what's BEST for MY child-- who has more issues...

What this article neglects to mention is how much each ticket cost... I'm hoping the 'pledges' follow through though-- the school is in need of some room... Clinton fund-raiser could raise more than $300,000 - Fayette County - Kentucky.com Former President Bill Clinton hasn't arrived yet...

This might be in the wrong spot but thought I'd start here-- since it's a childrens hospital and this is the 'parenting' board :) :) Anyhow-- Adam has an appointment coming up there-- and I'm a little nervous... have any of you taken your children or been a patient there yourself???

So took a year 'off' from the boards due to time constraints but we're back!! Adam was legally adopted on 09/17 so it's been nearly a year-- it's hard to believe it's been that long-- he's 2.5 now and learning to sign more (although we get in trouble at school for it :) :) ) and he's talking up...

I know this is silly but I got excited the other day when Adam was watching "Handy Manny" on the Disney channel and there was an episode about a gentleman who was deaf!! His wife had to explain to everyone he wasn't ignoring them like they thought he was. And this was the coolest part to me...

I'm just curious to hear from some of the other parents here-- especially the ones w/deaf-hoh kids... Do your children also have Sensory Processing issues?? Which type of SPI do they have and what do you/or OT do to help them?? Adam apparently needs Deep Pressure stimulation?? He likes...

We had a solid white simamse mix kitten (well she's about a year old) that we got in January after we had to have my cat put down because of cancer... She is deaf and supposed to be Adam's 'buddy' to grow up with... well the day I was packing up to leave to go to my dad's funeral -- I was...

I am so excited... for Adam's first birthday a friend of ours bought him some signing books... one was the baby signs book which I'm not as thrilled about but the others were signing books from Gallaudet!!! She found them locally... so I know where to find them!!! I can't wait to start using...

Adam went to his Audi yesterday and was tested w/his HA's and w/out them... and we're getting a near 'normal' hearing range w/his right aid (Oticon Vigo Pro) but he's still profound w/his left... so his Audi mentioned maybe trying him on a "Power Aid"?? He's profoundly deaf so what will this...

I'm just wondering from a hearing mom's perspective-- Does anyone find the term "hearing impaired" offensive when they're deaf or Hoh?? I have referred to Adam that way b/c that's how the doctor referred to him-- not 'deaf'. It's silly but I saw a T-shirt online that said "I'm deaf- not...

:cry:Ok Adam has a 'chord' to keep his HA"s on so we don't loose them when he jerks them out... so this morning afer getting him up and letting him start playing I went to put his 'ears' in... and I guess I tugged on the aid itself too hard to get it out of his chord-- Was just going to put his...
