Just One Look (Jesse’s Story Part 22)
| March 29, 2012 | Posted by Sarah Kaye under Deaf |
We’d made our minds up about the direction we wanted to head and tried to implement signing into Jesse’s life as best we could. Most of the services agreed to help us as much as they could and the one that didn’t (due to naivity more than anything else) we dropped. But still. Jesse’s language…
2 Books, 2 Days, No Sleep
| March 21, 2012 | Movies, Books & TV |
Well that’s not quite true i have slept, just a lot less than normal. I have this thing where if a movie trailer looks interesting & I find out it’s based on some popular best-seller type book I insist to myself that i must read the book before i see the movie. It all began…
After The Bliss (Jesse’s Story Part 21)
| March 16, 2012 | Deaf |
For the next few months our little family existed in a state of new baby bliss. Jack was absolutely smitten with his new sister whereas Jesse at that time could take her or leave her, she was just another person in the family (a whole other story now). Matt and I felt complete as a…

So I did it again, went on a little hiatus. Life has been pretty hectic, so let me catch you up. This will be a brief outline with expanded posts to come. I haven’t got my licence yet, but we have bought a car, mainly for me, but we’ve decided to solely drive it around…

Deaf Identity
| February 9, 2012 | Posted by Sarah Kaye under Deaf |
I had an interesting conversation with a friend who is a parent of a Deaf child recently about identifying our kids as “Deaf”. When the word deaf is written with a capital D it indicates a connection to the Deaf culture and community, that you identify yourself as being part of that cultural group. That…
Breastfeeding
| February 8, 2012 | Posted by Sarah Kaye under Just Me |
I just wanted to add my little 2 cents to the whole Facebook and breastfeeding photos issue. The logic doesn’t really make sense to me but unfortunately it speaks to a real world opinion of breastfeeding women. It’s nature, it’s nurture and it’s connectedness between mother and child. I’d like to know when it became…
Amelie’s SWISH Test 2 (Jesse’s Story Part 20)
| February 7, 2012 | Posted by Sarah Kaye under Deaf |
We had to wait a few days before Amelie could have her SWISH test. From the day after her birth the anticipation sprouted and started to swell. The hospital was aware of our circumstances and i stated that i could not do the test without my husband present. I did it last time by myself…

Communication Frustration
| February 5, 2012 | Posted by Sarah Kaye under Deaf |
Getting Jesse back into routine and back to school was surprisingly easy. He was ready and eager to go. I made up some routine charts and he was all set to follow them. Unfortunately i pinned them up on Saturday which made Jesse believe he was going to school the next day. Poor kid it…
