Ashibinaa

Hope everyone had a happy fourth of July in the states! We went down to the celebration down on the base on the third and had a good time with friends. 
It has been hot as can be here so we haven't been doing much unless it's going to the beach. So yesterday we decided to go down to the Ashibinaa outlet mall down in Naha. It was nice, a lot of American brands... very overpriced. The only place we found any good deals was the Gap outlet. It was definitely for big spenders... Armani, Coach, Gucci... you get my point!


Peyton & Daddy have been building masters with Legos.



First time with sparklers!

Finally started driving her Mustang!

She was a total grouch before fireworks!

Going to see fireworks!

Successfully made a Kanzashi flower!

Adam had to deal with work while we were at the south tip of the island so while he dealt with phone calls I had him pull into a park.

I'm sure it's even more gorgeous during high tide

Yum!




It's so hot they've got to have a mist area at the mall!

Finally saw the monorail go by!

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.
