Matching Pair

This week we celebrated Isobel's 4th Birthday. We had a little tea party and had lots of fun playing games and crafts. Isobel was very lucky to receive so many birthday presents but one of the best had to be getting the new hearing aid for her right ear (instead of a cochlear implant) and better by far were her set of Ear Gear.

As I mentioned in a previous post, we were very concerned about the possibility of Isobel loosing her hearing aids and we used a glasses cord to hold them in place. Well, after some research on the Internet, I came across the Ear Gear website(www.gearforears.com), not only does it ensure that the aids won't get lost, they are covered in nylon/Spandex that protects the device from sweat, rain, dust, dirt and sand from the sand box at school. Plus (and this is my favourite part) they come in a range of colours and patterns. Isobel has a pink set, for showing off and a chocolate brown set for when she wants to be incognito!

Therapy has been hard going this week. It has been tough going back to school and trying to slot therapy in between school, dinner and bedtime. We are working on a strategy to deal with this and hopefully next week it will be easier and a bit more rewarding. There have still been some good moments, below are a few snippets for this week, look out for a 'meow', a short phrase and a little bit of singing.
