We have been worried about Audrena's progress since the last sound booth testing. At home we have seen progress, but we so badly wanted a good audiogram to see where she is, and what we got was not ideal. So this week, we will take Audrena to USD for some booth testing in the morning, which will hopefully be a better result for us since our last booth work took place during nap time.
But yesterday, just for the day, we were able to put our worries aside. We spent the afternoon and part of the evening at Grandma & Grandpa's house with family. Audrena, Randy, and I played her new favorite game, turning the light switch on and off. Each time, we would say, "The light is on," or, "The light is off." We were impressed when Audrena would say, "fff," after we said, "The light is off." We are certain she was trying to say "off." She did that several times. Later, we played with this toy, which is one of her favorites. There is a light switch on the side that turns on/off a light in the window. I said, "Audrena, turn the light on." She had her back to me when I said it, and she turned the light on!
Later on, Daddy took the kids for a slow ride on the John Deere Gator. He held Audrena on his lap, and as they went over bumps or down an incline, he would say, "Woo hoo!" Audrena repeated "woo hoo" a few times. Then, after he brought the kids back into the house, Grandma said to her, "Where's Papa?" Audrena turned to point at Grandpa. We followed it up with, "Where's Daddy?" She turned to point at Randy. She also did this more than once when asked.
So while we are still a little concerned about last week's sound booth testing not being at the levels we had hoped for, we are optimistic that we just have one stubborn little girl. Hopefully she will do a wonderful job this week at USD so that they can get a good audiogram, and we can put our worries to rest for good.
