[blparent] Introducing myself, books and bus.

[Veronica Smith]

Shelby, welcome to the list.
I live in New Mexico and your questions make perfect sense.
When you take your baby to the Dr. the office will automatically give you a
piece of paper with all shots given.  They should of started it already
because for the rest of your child's life, every school he goes to, will ask
for it.
If you loose it, you can always call your Dr and they will make a copy and
send it to you.

As for the Braille book and the Utah State Library, what I did was sign up
for the kids books and they'd send me a box every time I'd send the last one
back.  A box of perhaps 6 or more books would come, age appropriate, and I'd
read them to my daughter and when we were done, I'd mail them back and
before you knew it, another set would arrive.
There is also another library that does it and I believe it is called the
Jernigan Library and you can find out about it through NFB.  They do the
same thing, send you a variety of books and when you are done, return and
get new ones.  I always just let them pick.
Veronica

Hello everyone,

I'm new on here, so I thought I'd introduce myself.  My name is Shelby
Young, from Kansas.  I'm a single mom to a two month old named Jaxcen.  I
spelled his name different its: J A X C E N.  

In responce to my question about books, I called the Kansas State Library
for the Blind and asked about braille books.  They contacted the Utah State
Library for the Blind and got me signed up to get books from them.  You can
either call and order books or get online and do it.  The lady asked what
books I wanted--My mind went blank and I just said childrens books.  If any
of you have good book titles, let me know please.  

The bus system just started here.  I can take the stroller, but have to fold
it up.  My son has to be bucklkled in the seat next to me in his carseat.
These are smaller buses then what, say Denver has, but its a start.  When I
was going to the Colorado Center for the Blind, I saw people on the bus with
strollers and the children were still in them.  The driver just folded up
the seat so they weren't in the ile.  

When taking children to the doctors, do you have the doctor write down
everything they've done, such as what shots were given, how much the child
waid, how tall the child is, if any perscripssions were given and how much,
ECT?  I'm asking because I'd like siggestions of how to do things.  Sorry if
this doesn't make sense.  

Shelby
