Back to school...

Feels like we just got out of school! It's been an extremely busy summer, that's for sure! I couldn't imagine going through everything with Sean and his CI's during the school year! Talk about stressful! It also feels like just yesterday that I was chasing Sean around to put his ears on for the umpteen time!

I have to admit I was a bit nervous about school this year for Sean. I worried about having to teach and educate his teachers about his CI's. Both how to operate/troubleshoot the CI's, and how to best meet the needs of a deaf child who is just "learning how to listen" with this mew technology." In addition I worried about the new classroom acoustics, the fact that there are now 8 kids instead of 4. Then I begin to wonder about the Oral Preschool in Norfolk @ ODU for children 3+! Should we consider looking into that program for when we transition out of Early Intervention (EI) and into the public schools with an IEP? I'm a mom, I'm supposed to worry, but damn I don't need the added stress! ;)
Thankfully Sean is one smart cookie and will do just fine at Barefoot. Plus he will be with big brother Blake for another year!
