We would have loved if you stayed around to enjoy the pizza and sample the homemade oreo popcorn crunch. <br /><br />Like Anna mentioned, some kids are hearing, but there were also some deaf children.. The beauty of this circle of friends is that everyone signs, both -- hearing and deaf individuals. My children who are both deaf were able to immerse themselves into play with all kinds of children at the party. After all, playtime and happiness are universal. <br /><br />The story behind Capitol HIll Children of Deaf Parents is quite interesting. We'd love to share it with you if you have the time.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />RobertaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934570763492781767.post-35354999188500412162009-11-01T21:18:23.102-08:002009-11-01T21:18:23.102-08:00There.

As I said, I really had no idea who did and <i>who did not </i>hear. <br /><br />What I also noticed was that these children had to look directly at their parents and pay direct attention to anyone "speaking." It made them seem much more attentive and tuned in to each other. <br /><br />Beside the hearing loss, your group seemed to be some of the most emotionally alive, whole and vibrant people I've ever had the great pleasure to spend a little time with. <br /><b><br />Thank you for making me feel so accepted in your gathering. </b>Martihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16411998468123052731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934570763492781767.post-1530397468038251582009-11-01T20:56:25.143-08:002009-11-01T20:56:25.143-08:00Thanks for crashing on our party.

Most of us do live in DC area and we like to have gatherings for kids. Halloween was one part of all gatherings. We surely had fun but important parts is our kids did had blast time.<br />Thanks for crashing on our party again!<br /><br />One of these momsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934570763492781767.post-2827923197691732582009-11-01T19:50:38.304-08:002009-11-01T19:50:38.304-08:00I think you would have been as totally sucked in a...I think you would have been as totally sucked in as I was, Marie.
