Thanks for all the nice things you shared. My hubby does that to me all the time right now, he is Deaf and I'll tell the kids something, he'll come up behind me and tell them the same thing! Kinda amazing! Thanks for seeing that my journey is ultimately a blessing. I've been told I am enthusiastic about it. Hence, my venture into becoming a speaker on the experiences. Stop again! Hi Josh,
I’m so glad you stumbled somehow here! Thanks for all the nice things you shared.

My hubby does that to me all the time right now, he is Deaf and I’ll tell the kids something, he’ll come up behind me and tell them the same thing! Kinda amazing!

Thanks for seeing that my journey is ultimately a blessing. I’ve been told I am enthusiastic about it. Hence, my venture into becoming a speaker on the experiences.

Stop again!

I've enjoyed looking it over and reading and watching. Very cool. My parents are Deaf, also (Mom - HH, Deaf Culturally; Dad - profoundly (totally) Deaf). My sisters and I are convinced that our Mom's hearing was not so "hard", smile. We would be in another room talking about something and she would come in a few seconds or minutes later and bring up the same exact topic of what we were saying. Or, her back turned to us, we would say something, and she would turn around and, almost verbatim, say what we had just said. Maybe Mom's just have esp! Haha. At any rate, I've enjoyed what I have seen so far. My blogs (I'm addicted) are not about being a CODA, but would not have been possible without the parents I had. The hyperlink on my name will take you to a text blog, and a vlog I have is fbcbowlinggreendeaf.blogspot.com. Both are Christian (don't want anyone to be surprised or feel hoodwinked when they click on my name - if they do). To be a coda to a masterpiece such as my parents has truly been a blessing. And I'm glad to see that it appears the same for you! Sincerley, Josh Bruffey Coda Diva,

I guess those are what my children are thinking all the time to test on me or my husband. I think at their ages, they don't fully understand why deaf parents can't hear but can talk pretty good (depends on how well their speech is) so they should be able to hear. I speak very well, but very fully deaf.. so I think that may confuses the children to think I can't be deaf. I hope someday in few years as they get older, they'd understand more why I can't hear and do use my voice to talk to my children with my sign language. I'm just glad I could lip read :-) Now, children realized I can read lips so they would cover up their mouth when talking sometimes. I'm trying to teach them to know that they shouldn't treat us that way of testing on us all the time. Thanks for sharing this video for me to view. Amy Hmm very interesting..

There are times I wanted to turn my voice off so they could practice their receptive skills. However, one day, I decided to turn my voice off for an entire day. When my two sons were under three years old, they had to attend their Day Care while I went to work. During their nap time, one of my sons, who was three, woke up screaming, " Help Help My Mom!" The Day Care Provider rushed to rescue his nap mare to find out what went wrong. He told her, "You need to rescue my mom because her voice is broken. " After I learned from the provider, I felt bad but knowing that my two sons need constantly exposures in both hearing and deaf languages and cultures. Even now, they are five and six, they don't fully get to the point that we are completely deaf due to the fact that I could speak well. Hopefully in the near future, they will.:-) Since I have two hearing sons, both of them signs on and off with me and my husband.

One day it hit my son thought I can't hear so he turned it on his music plus volume higher all way as loudly, I can hear, than feel vibrate, I turned to him, yelled at him, Hey, please turn it down, I can hear that loud. My son dropped his mouth and surprised that I can hear. Also my young daugther kept saying , it was not too loud, I kept saying, Yes it is really loud, I can hear! Please turn it down back to normal. True, I agreed with you that some deaf parents can HEAR! Thanks for bringing it up.

Been there done that:-) By the way I love the book, “A Loss of Words” by Lou Anne Walker. What a great summer read. Do you have any others books you can recommend? I read last month, "In This Sign," by Joanne Greenberg. It was ok. While reading it I kept getting the feeling it was written from a “Hearing” perspective and not a CODA. However, I maybe wrong. Also, I had my daughter age 10 read "Deaf Child Crossing." I recommend it for all school age kids. WCG Good story!!! Been there done that:-)
