Life begins...

Wow, sorry I haven't updated in a few days! The TLF we're staying in doesn't have internet service so we've either got to be at a friends or walk to the BX, library or Banyan Tree(restaurant on base).
We went off base yesterday to Jusco(mall like store) and the 100 yen store!! It was great! I LOVE the yen store! So far all the Japanese we've encountered have been extremely nice and helpful! We've already picked up how to say thank you very much!
Haven't really had time to take a whole lot of pics, no people pics yet- when we went off base yesterday we didn't have our good camera- I've got some on my Japanese cell phone but we don't have the SD card adapter to look at them on the computer until the movers come. Got a lot going on right now, briefings, getting driving licenses, generally figuring stuff out so I'm not sure if I'll get to answering some of the emails in my inbox for a while.
Here are a couple shots I took around the TLF building though...

Kindergarten!

Well... we've got ourselves a kindergartener! I can't hardly believe it! Time sure does fly by. Keira's Cochlear Implant was finally approved and authorized and we now have ourselves an implant date! Tricare ended up denying her twice and her Dr had to schedule a peer to peer with United healthcare/Tricare. Everything seems to be on track now though. I'll try to keep on top of updating the blog after the implant to show her progress :) K for Kindergarten! :) Pledge of Allegiance at the flag ceremony

7 months post activation

So we are at almost 7 months post activation with Keira's Cochlear Implant. Since the 3rd mapping her vocalizations and attempted words have grown so much! She now wears both her Neptune and her Naida processors. She still prefers the Neptune but she is much more tolerable of her Naida. She is also wearing her hearing aid with her Cochlear implant more and more. She still doesn't tolerate the hearing aid in the car for long periods but she does great at her toddler class and during speech with the aid. She is becoming more and more aware of music and likes to dance now! :) Her sign vocabulary is steadily growing too as is mine! Just the other day during her toddler class she impressed me so much! They take the kids out one at a time and do a "focus" time which is similar to speech and lasts about 15 minutes. We were reading a book with Keira that had flaps and there was a frog and our specialist was telling her "Jump, jump, jump" & Keira picked up the bo...

Comprehensive

So Saturday evening we went down to Comprehensive park to check it out and see what it was all about. The park has a WHOLE lot to offer! There are TONS of stuff, we only saw about a 1/4 of the park. Peyton got to play her little heart out! As for Tabby, he's still on 6 pills a day. He seems to be getting some of his spunk back...we've got another appointment on Saturday for an ultrasound to check his heart. I went bow crazy and got Peyton this headband. I have other pics I will post later. Playing hard! Loving on Tabby.
