Things that I never thought I’d say… “sorry im late for the IEP meeting, I needed to take the kitten to the kitten sitter.” 🤪🐈‍⬛

This tiny little babe was left at my daughters cheer gym. While it would have been better to keep the litter together and get them to a rescue, by the time we got there, she (?) was all alone. I got a crash course from my neighbor who has fostered 50+cats and set me up with all my necessities and we are 24 hours into bottle feeding.

She is not lacking in love or attention. So far. #rescuedkitten #bottlefedkitten #shepurrs

Chuck the cat makes an excellent reading buddy. He is enjoying “Kitty and the Moonlight Rescue” - a cat themed superhero book. Mama is enjoying watching Z delve into chapter books. [not his favorite] Peep the little hand movements in #signlanguage and since Chuck is hearing, we get a little read aloud too. 🐈‍⬛ 🌙

Z and I watched the movie #CODA last night. I hadn’t actually intended to let him watch it but when he saw sign language being used on TV, he was quickly mesmerized. It was the 💨 fart joke that got him laughing.

The movie isn’t really meant for kids (PG-13) but his face told me that what he would gain far exceeded what he might see.

We both enjoyed it immensely. The cast is top notch.

I asked Z if he wants to be in a movie… he said maybe.

And maybe is a possibility that exists for him… because of the trailblazers that are going before him.

Sharing a fascinating perspective on how both my Deaf kids read to themselves. They are still learning “internal” reading, so they both use this quick, mumbling type ASL as they read along. If they don’t know a word, they typically just fingerspell it and move on. If it impacts comprehension , they may ask about it. It’s mesmerizing to watch. I promise it is a helpful technique, even if you can’t understand it.

Vocabulary drills without context are a necessary

Vocabulary drills without context are a necessary evil for learning to read. To do this without any meaning or any phonics support (like hearing children get) is extremely challenging.

She works so hard and I have no doubt she will be able to read at a level far above what we can imagine today. #deafkidsrock #Bilingual #ASL #SignLanguage #readingfluency #nobarriers #deafkidscanread

Chuck thinks he is a dog. He lays around like this with his belly all exposed and rubs his back just like our Newfie. 🤣 #chuckbass #chuckthecat #rescuecat

Saturday morning practice for our level vocabulary

Saturday morning practice for our level vocabulary. Z is 8 words from knowing all 100+ “red” words.

But here’s the deal. Learning words is not equal to comprehension of reading. It helps him a ton but it’s still the ultimate goal to be able to connect the words in a meaningful way!

Second, Z benefits from having some phonic awareness with his hearing aids. They are a tool that helps him, but he is still a Deaf kid. I would be remiss if I didn’t recognize it is easier for him than his sister who does not have the same tool.

Circa 1994 :) These faces are at the same place as the last photo I posted! Can you spot us?

That tall guy in the center is forever etched in my memory just like this picture. Blond and British, he stole my heart with his accent, motorcycle and guitar. It’s been 27 years this week since he chose to leave world behind. He is forever missed and tears still flow for the ways he could have made us laugh.

And I’m still short ☀️

Someone made her own bed near her tiny human. She was asleep when I walked in but didn’t stir. I agree with her, that trying to sleep ON the bed with him is dangerous. He’s actually lying sideways here. 🤪🤣#MilaBlair #catsofinstagram #hertinyperson #sheloveshim 🐈‍⬛
