Last night our local police station had a little Halloween activity for the children. They where giving away bears, candy and stickers. The kids got to take their bears to the nurses station where they got to name them (We chose Kiki because were now working on our K's) they got to pretend to listen to the bears heart then give them a shot and a band aid. One of the nurses saw that Becca had her "Ears" in, she looked at Becca and said "oh look at that! you are wearing your hearing aids! They are so pretty!" I wanted to jump up and down and embrace her and give her a giant kiss! These days we haven't had an issue with Becca keeping her hearing aids in. We went through a long while not to long ago where she refused to wear them. This women had to have worked with children before with a special need. She knew how meaningful it was to look at my daughter and tell her how beautiful her hearing aids are.
So lets talk about crowds.
My girlfriend Vicki and I took my two girls and her little girl to this event. It was very crowded with very slow moving lines. Beccas hearing bubble is only 3-5 feet even with her hearing aids in (we call them her ears). In a situation like that where there are tons of voices and other noise, she isn't able to pick out any one voice, if I am not holding her in my arms and speaking into her ear she can not hear me. Those are the moments that make me a bit nervous. She did great and she had a blast. She kissed her teddy bear when he got his shot and gave him a hug mean while charming the pants off the women who gave her bear the shot.
My youngest baby Kaylee was less then amused during the outing but then again she did get her shots the day before and was still pretty angry about the ordeal.
Becca boo picked out a peacock costume last weekend at Old Navy. She was also very interested in their monkey costume too. So Rob and I sat there waiting for her to decide. He really wanted her to be a monkey and I really wanted her to be the peacock....so maybe I held that costume a little closer then I was holding the monkey when she picked it. sssshhhh! don't say anything.
Kaylee bug was a little bug of course. And the cutest lady bug of all.
