wow, on the honey, I'll have to look for some good organic raw honey,,,,,thanks for the tips on freezing and boiling, Mia!!!!
and I totally agree with you on integrating the deaf,,,I know some people who went too far with it though,,,,they wouldn't use sign, couldn't even understand if their 5 year old had a belly ache,,,,too too far,,,, Katie (my oldest, Michael's mother) has been total communication right from the get go,,,,and Michael is SO SMART,,,
he repeated Kindergarten just "because he's deaf" and now they are skipping him the 7th grade because, frankly, he's well over a year ahead of himself and bored silly,,,,,it's truly amazing.
I know people who never learned sign and couldn't communicate with their children either. I never understood that. So sad! Oh...and I actually think it's beneficial for boys to start later...closer to 6. So that probably really helped him. My son would have done better had he started a year later and I had to start when I was 4 because of my birthday, and was not emotionally ready. That's awesome about Michael! He'll do great!
