One new thing that we are doing right now is stopping the signing to her. Her speech therapists want to be able to know for sure what she is hearing and understanding in order to be able to get an accurate assessment about Cochlear Implants. We know she has no problem signing and picking up signs so for now we will stop the signs and just concentrate on hearing. We won't do this forever probably but just to assess. So far she has done wonderful!! She still signs some to us but is now really concentration on talking. Today she said "car", "no", "pickle" and a few more NEW words that she hadn't been saying. Hopefully her speech will come along.
Her new love is her red jeep that was given to us. It just needed a battery. You should have seen her face when she saw it and now she and brother have one each. However, she is terrible at driving it and runs into everything and laughs and laughs. Noah had to get in and give her a driving lesson. He felt his life was in danger so it didn't last very long.
I'm looking forward to Laurel's first Easter season EVER! How awesome we get to share with her the joy of this season and of our Saviours Ressurection! New Birth Indeed!
