This is so my child!

I HATE! the show Family Guy, but when I saw this commercial, it made me giggle....the first time...now, I am completely annoyed!

It is devastating when you learn about your child's hearing loss, wondering if they'll ever be able to communicate with you using spoken English, among many other things.

Tayten has had his CIs for two years now and I find it devastating when I have to ask him to please stop talking for just a moment.

Not kidding, Stewie sounds just like my child and unfortunately, Lois sounds a bit like me somedays!

artwork contest during 2009 Harvest Festival.
She is a 4th grader from Savage. She is the daughter of

Amanda and Patrick Reynolds, Savage.

Way to go Em! We are very proud of you! XOXO

Can you believe this is my child?!

I received an email from Tayten's teacher about class on Friday and it included this little note:

He is such a great kid.. G was having trouble zipping his coat so Tayten said he wanted to help him and he got it started for him (like we do with the kids) and G then finished it and he said “Good job G”. What a great friend he is!

Is he not sweet? I love him so much!

Mr. Visual

Look what my just-turned-four year old can do already! He has learned by watching as we have never once sat down to teach him and boy, was his mama surprised! Good job, Tayten!
