- the missing ci is... -

still lost! - a lot of you've written, asking if it's been found & no, it hasn't been - it doesn't look very promising at all that we'll be finding it either [don't think i've given up though, cause we haven't] - ruby loved, loved, loved her ci & wore it proudly [like a badge] - she wanted it on first thing in the morning & wanted to wear it all day - she even convinced her teacher that she was allowed to wear it during naptimes [she wasn't], just so she could leave it on longer

`

what we're seeing now though, is that she's so much more 'herself' - even though she loved the ci, she's more 'in her element' now, living in a totally deaf world, with no aids at all - she's signing so much more [which's a great help to us as typically when she's home, she'll not sign to us as much as she knows we're slower than she is in sign language & she also knows that we can hear, so she talks instead] - she's not sitting back watching as much, but instead she's right in there 'leading' [sometimes that's not a good thing either!] & has sort of come out of her shell

`

we're still telling her to look for it at school, but it's not coming up anywhere
