"Holy Snow, Batman!"

That was Chris' response to seeing our blizzard results this morning. I put him back to bed.

We wrapped up all of the boys last night to do some sledding as a family. We're right next to a little park that has a small hill which is perfect for the boys.

Interesting note, though, when the boys' heads were covered with pull-on hats and hoods from their coats, not even the "hearing" son could actually hear us that well. More difficult for our CI boys. We will most definitely use their FM systems when we take them out later today. Oops! One is at school, one at home. Well, at least we'll have one to use.

Now which kid to use it with? The tiny receiver can be damaged, if say the boy wearing it is in a snow fight, rolling down the hill after being hit by another sledder (boo, hiss, neighbor boy!!!!!), or just when messing around. That would be Matt last night. He was wearing his uber-durable BWP under his jacket, in its pouch around his waist. He had absolutely no problems with that. But the FM receiver is a small attachment to the processor, more easily knocked or damaged. I'll have to talk to Matt about this. I need to start using the FM more regularly with Josh, too, though, so today might be a good opportunity to give it a try.

Back to the original thought. Could the hearing son hear me last night? Or was he blowing me off? Hmmmm.... He IS five now. It's a toss up. I couldn't tell you one way or the other. :)
