Going MIA

I'll be MIA for about a week. We sign for the keys to the new house tomorrow (Tuesday) and our internet will be turned on at the new house "Sometime" on Thursday >.<. Time Warner only had a full day appointment available so we have to sit around all day (luckily my brother is staying with us since we have lots of appts. on Thursday's). I think I'll have a nice update blog post next week with pictures of the new house too :D

Saturday Snapshots: Listening Therapy/Therapeutic Listening

The main idea is to emphasize integration of the auditory and vestibular systems together. Since there is such a close connection with visual functioning, visual processing also will likely improve. Particularly spatial awareness, and the concept of time and space.

The Son

Seamus is my oldest, born July 2006 after an up and down pregnancy. He is a goof ball, loves to make people laugh, build things, and LOVES cars (especially tires and engines). Seamus hasn't had an easy 5½years of life, he's had developmental delays since he was a newborn. He has Aspergers and Sensory Processing Disorder. He is curently in Kindergarten and doing fairly well in learning (not so great in behaviors), Occupational Therapy and IBI/Intensive Behavioral Intervention he'll also be doing IBI over the summer in a 'summer school' like program to help with the transition between grades. Recently we signed him up for soccer and he will be starting that in mid April, we're all super excited for our first sport adventure as a family.

The Daughter

Kieran is my youngest, born April 2009. She is a goofball and a princess. She loves the color pink and dresses and asks to be called princess, she loves making silly faces and taking funny pictures. Kieran is a lefty so its a new learning experience for hubby and I to teach her to write and such (which she's doing amazingly well at, already having O's down and pre-stick figures down which are O's with arms and legs), Kieran is the first lefty since my Grammie so we've been trying to get tips from her, haha.
