We have a date. Landon will receive bilateral cochlear implants on his first birthday - Sept. 27. What a first birthday present! Let the countdown begin.
Connor had his first day of Kindergarten today. He was really excited to get started. We have decided to homeschool the boys. We are starting Garrett on pre-K activities and Landon will be having his therapy so all the boys will be having "school" every day. We can already see the benefits of having older siblings in Garrett - his vocabulary is great for someone his age (now we just need to get him potty trained!) He is like a sponge - soaking up everything that we are working on with Connor. I'm sure we will see definite benefits for Landon with his therapy by having older brothers to play with and learn from. He'll be getting extra learning time just by sitting at the table while I'm helping his brothers on their school work. I think the only trouble I'm going to have with Connor is keeping him on a schedule. As soon as he was done with the assigned pages of work he wanted to keep on going in the books. He probably would have done all of this weeks assignments today if I would have let him. I'm going to try and find some worksheets on-line that correspond with what he is learning so that he'll have enough work to keep him happy but will keep him building the skills and concepts at the appropriate rate. If I let him go at his own pace he'll be done with Kindergarten by Christmas.

Great news on the date. What a wonderful birthday present this will be - a lifetime gift of hearing!!!
Tell Connor we say "Good job - way to go!!" LoL Doesn't surprise me Garret will be right along trying to pick up all that Connor is doing.
Jennifer you will have your hands full. But what a morning class that will be. Got to make you smile just seeing those three faces looking up at you ready to learn.
Keep us posted on what is going on with all the great nephews.
Love,
Aunt Sally and Uncle Andy
This is really great.
Went to the "Smallest Chapel in the World" for the August 15 mass. I offered my prayers and communion for Landon so the surgery will be successful.
Tell Conner to keep up the good work. Garrett is no surprise about picking up all that Conner learns. Landon will pick-up his learning from Garrett. So what one does the other will do in succession.
Eric and Jennifer, you have three very smart boys. Be very proud of them.
