Back to the hearing aid... it is a loaner from Oticon, a Vigo. It's a low gain aid set for a mild hearing loss. It's not supposed to damage the hearing she does have. We have it for three months. If we lose it, we have to pay for it... all $1200 for an aid the size of a mandarin orange slice. In less than an hour Blair probably removed that hearing aid 65 times. That will be a battle that will hopefully pass after a few days. I waited until I was on break to take her to get it so that I could have her at home with me, see how she acts with it, and make sure it stays put in her ear. To help us keep up with it, we have a pediatric clip to help us keep it attached to her clothes. (I'm going to have to work on this, because it's yellow-orange and doesn't match anything she has to wear!)
So we'll see how it goes! Here's Miss Busy too preoccupied to even mess with the hearing aid.
7:53am Plays with the musical table.

Hey mommy.

7:55 Intrigued, as usual, by the Pulmicort package.

7:57 A new favorite -- blanket peekaboo.

7:58 Checks on the diapers.

7:59 Climbs into her drawer.

Gets mad because it's taking too long (still 7:59).

Throws things out and looks at them on the floor.

8:00 Gets out of the drawer.

8:02 Maybe the blue book?

Nah, the orange one is better.

Brings it to the right spot.

Reads.

8:03 Here Mommy. You take it. (Pulmicort in hand.)

8:04 Book number 2 -- it's a big heavy one.

Reads book number 2.

8:06 Goes and gets a puzzle and comes back to book number 2.

8:08 Still book number 2? Yes, it's a long-time favorite.


8:11 Book number 3.

Upside down.

And uses her little thumbs to turn pages.

After almost two hours of that, it was just about time for a nap!
