Miss Kat got her first phone call from a friend today! She was in the bathtub and I picked up my cell phone and it was one of her friends from school. She asked if she could talk to Miss Kat. I was stunned. I said ok and grabbed Miss Kat's Harmony (because the Neptune has the mic on the headpiece, which is unsuitable for the phone) and gave her the phone. Her friend then asked "When am I going to come to your house and play?" Miss Kat was surprised and said "What?" Her friend said "Can I come on Saturday?" Miss Kat looked at me, and I nodded, so she said yes.
Wow! A friend from school getting her phone number and calling her up! She is getting so big!
***Turns out that the friend did not have authority to set up a playdate, and they are going out of town for the week-end, but still! A friend who likes her so much that they call her at home (and actually, turns out that she left a voicemail on my phone yesterday too!) and is that excited to hang out with her! I'm so happy for her!

how awesome is that! I personally can't wait for that day too! Although I am gonna have to get someone to show me how to hook up Brandon's cochlear so he can use the phone -I'm ashamed to say I don't know how to do it!
So sweet!!
I personally am waiting for her first VRS call! That will be much more sweeter.
Why would it be sweeter? If ASL and English are both equal languages, and using both of them is appropriate and desired, why would it be BETTER that the call is in ASL?
The point is not that she talked on the phone (she has done that a million times) the point was that she had a friend so excited to talk to her that she couldn't possibly wait until she saw Miss Kat again in the morning. She wanted to call her.
Mmm. Budding friendship is so wonderful. Cheering with Miss Kat, who may not understand the significance of the call, and with her parents, who do!
Dear Miss Kat's Parents: I am a book publicist and I'd like to submit a book to you to consider reviewing on your blog. Please email me at dchanwork@gmail.com so I can send you more information. Thanks. Best, Darlene Chan
Just so happy for her! I know you must be thrilled as well. HOpe she enjoys the play date once they're back in town.
