[blparent] new member with a brief introduction

[Michael Babcock]

good day;
I am a completely blind parent of a 2 year old sun. His name is Nicholas, and I have him 33% of the year. I figured I would join this list in order to see other parenting tips and tricks. My fiancé is sighted; so I have no issues with using her to the best of my ability, in the nicest way of saying that. I have been blind since birth, and all of my siblings and both parents are sighted. Nicholas his self is a very active and sighted 2-year-old. He was born at 33 weeks; and was 4 pounds 1.5 ounces. Other then his early birth, and after spending eight weeks in seattle at the hospital he was able to come home. I don't have him however my time with him will happen as soon as I find a rental in Anchorage as I just moved up here to be the new Assistive Technology and Braille Instructor at the alaska Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired. If I have any questions regarding parenting; and or any tips I will be sure to post them here. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day, and all of your kids are healthy and playing.
