To make aware

The reason for this blog is to let people know what life is like with a deaf child, the hardships, as well as the achievements. I also have a hearing child and how it will impact him.

As the summer rolls...

Since I last posted Wyatt has gotten to a point where he wants to argue and fight us with everything, We can tell  him over and over again, no, he sometimes answer but I have to, or I need to. In reality he doesn't need to or have to, he just wants his way.

This summer I have kept him busy. He works with his PCA for 1 1/2 hours Monday - Thursday, then he will go to Backus Kids Club, where they have a structured agenda. Every day he ask me what he has and what we will do after that thing is done. I love that fact that he is asking questions and wants to know, but really sometimes just watching what is going on around you is better. I know that is what I do when I am in a situation where I can't hear very well.

In about 2 wks he will go on a trip  to the other side of the usa. He will be going to Florida with Papa and GG. I am very nervous for him, but at the same time it will be good for him to be away from us for a bit.

For awhile now there have been concerns about his weight. I think they may send him back to us with some weight, which is great, but at the same time its him learning that he can't eat whenever he wants and to stick to meal plans.
