New Update

Hi everyone -

We have a few things coming up that we want to let everyone know about. My mom and I will be touring Perkins School for the Blind on Thursday to take a look at their early learning program (preschool). They have very small class sizes and the specialize in vision and multiple disabilities. The other thing that we are looking forward to is the Hasbro Radio-athon.. I have been asked to speak about our experiences with Hasbro and how much they have done for us. It will be this Friday (March 26) at 1:00. I will send the link to the website - I am not sure which radio station I will be on! Brandon's picture is on the station websites that will be hosting this event - http://www.92profm.com/article.asp?id=1739077 .

Today we started music group. Brandon loved it! He was wide awake and smiling and banging his hands on his legs. He loves to listen to other kids and noises around him. He is also getting better at grasping and holding things. Yesterday he picked up his tambourine with two hands, held it in the air and flipped it over. It was so cool!

We have a lot of new pictures to post that will show everyone some of the things that we are working on with Brandons vision. My brother John made stands so we could hang things for Brandon to look at. We got this idea off a friends website (they made one for their son). Enjoy!

And thank you to my wonderful family for taking such good care of Brandon when I was sick last week! xoxoxox

Here's Brandon and his cousin Anthony having a sleepover!

Brandon is playing his bells and singing with his music therapist.

Here he is looking at his beads while working with his physical therapist.

This is one of the new setups we have for getting Brandon to use his vision.

Mommy even makes me use my eyes while were taking walks!

Here is another new set up.
B is doing well with blue lights.
