Day two continued to be a success at the Omaha Hearing School. While Lily is in the neighborhood preschool, she is the only kid with any hearing apparatus on. Of course some kids are curious and some kids pay no attention at all to her CIs.
On Monday one of the other little girls was quite curious about Lily's CIs so the staff did a little show and tell today. They said everybody is different (hair, glasses, eyes, CIs, hearing aids, etc), we have five senses, Lily has a magnet in her head and you don't, and if Lily is looking away and you want to talk with her you start by saying, "Lily" then she will turn around and you can talk with her. Apparently this is a "best practice" when communicating between 3 and 4 year old kiddos, so they practiced it.
Lily also mastered the use of the word "upset" today. Not as in I am mad at you, but as in "the cat upset the trash can." Barb reported that she was reading a book with Lily trying to teach "everywhere, somewhere" concepts, but that Lily was more interested in the word "upset". It was probably because Barb let her upset the trash cans more than once.
Lily also reported as we were getting ready to leave, that she loves school and her Mommy. Ahhh.
