Hello Erin,
Welcome to the list.  My name is Melissa, and I am a stay at home mom,
Discovery Toys Educational Consultant, and president of the NFB of Maryland.
My husband, Mark, and I have two children.  Austin is four, and Oriana just
turned one on the 15th.  We live in Baltimore; where do you live?  I also
have LCA.  I'm glad you are enjoying your son so much, and I'm sure you'll
find tons of great discussion, advice, and great people on this list.  I
know I have.
Take care,
Melissa

Hello blind parents,

 

My name is Erin and I'm thrilled to find a quality list serv for parents who
are blind.  I have a six month old little boy named Dawson who is the joy of
my husband David and my life.  He is doing so many new things nearly every
day which is wonderful to witness and my guide dog Provo and him are just
the best of buds.  It's really sweet to see exactly how close my guide has
gotten to Dawson and Dawson just giggles with delight whenever he sees the
dog around.

 

I've been blind since birth with LCA.  I have put my career outside of the
home on hold in order to be a stay at home mom which I feel very blessed to
be able to do.  Our son is truly the sunshine of our lives and after nearly
12 years of marriage I can honestly say that he was worth the wait.

 

I look forward to corresponding with all of you on a variety of subjects and
it's great to know that I now have others I can throw questions out to when
needed since I don't have that many blind friends who are also parents.

 

Warmly,

 

Erin
