I told the staff at the gate he was deaf and they asked me to wait a moment. The manager came out and put a wrist band on Morgan then personally went to each staff member and told them instructions concerning him. it was awesome! we had a great day! When the staff person saw his wristband they knew exactly what to do!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8143823763377733172.post-59143942621782318022010-08-04T11:59:23.847-05:002010-08-04T11:59:23.847-05:00Yes you're absolutely right.

Although I have to be by Aiden's side the whole time, it was difficult with discipline, as he'd get very territorial with the baby slides, not wanting anyone else on them. He's getting pretty good at reading my facial signs and lips though!tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11440760114820803415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8143823763377733172.post-10950926405218358502010-07-25T16:12:54.968-05:002010-07-25T16:12:54.968-05:00no cues.....held the whistle in her mouth the whol...no cues.....held the whistle in her mouth the whole time.VBnBamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06188520199027370788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8143823763377733172.post-27431408520332296052010-07-25T14:12:42.505-05:002010-07-25T14:12:42.505-05:00your kids can take cues from lifeguards.

If I see kids wait and response only when lifeguard put a whistle in their mouth, then I should too. It works. My mother let whoever have a problem with me to care of it themselves without her stepping in. That is, if I'm not responsing, they eventually wave at me because they got to keep the line moving. Mom knew people will not listen to her so she let them figure out themselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8143823763377733172.post-51814713170549040682010-07-25T12:16:47.480-05:002010-07-25T12:16:47.480-05:00man you guys get to use toys at water parks!!!
