I'm hoping that changes before too long.CAUSE ME TO HEARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08970825831755519753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2074245988180152453.post-38274794129670532872009-08-21T11:56:17.520-07:002009-08-21T11:56:17.520-07:00Haha, Tammy- it probably WAS yesterday!

Actually, I think that process just gives him enough time to process the question and formulate an answer! I also can't believe he is going to be TWO in six more days... they grow up too fast!leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05004783118268323560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2074245988180152453.post-10277965250101735202009-08-21T07:39:30.603-07:002009-08-21T07:39:30.603-07:00Nolan is doing so wonderfully!

It seems like just yesterday that I read how you were concerned about Nolan answering a question with the question. I can't believe he's not even two yet ... he's doing a lot more than a lot of hearing two year olds do! And I think a lot of toddlers start their sentences with the verb first ... in fact, isn't this how most foreign languages are spoken and it's us in the US that put noun before verb?tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11440760114820803415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2074245988180152453.post-25461814130933851142009-08-21T07:39:07.019-07:002009-08-21T07:39:07.019-07:00Julia, that is too funny. We're lucky in that ...Julia, that is too funny. We're lucky in that Nolan has residual hearing across all the frequencies, but that hearing in the lows/mids is rather questionable- he seems to have some distortion and misses sounds (even aided). We really noticed it with the drop from 50dB to 60dB- his "Daddy" went to "Dah-ee." And Nolan is just impossible for him!There are times we wish we had chosen a high frequency name, like Chris. He'll get it some day, though (g)!leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05004783118268323560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2074245988180152453.post-31737493925279450922009-08-21T03:33:19.387-07:002009-08-21T03:33:19.387-07:00He is doing grt.

We were advised to do at least 5 new sentences everyday for echo which helps them to have continuity, intonation and is very helpful when they are asked to make longer sentences later in life.The sentences could be even any gibberish or any other language. I found it very helpful.They learn to get the syllable right, intonation is built and the rhythm helps them later.This stage is very very important and really use it to the full. I did that by constantly asking her to say things back while cooking, cleaning or driving etc.It builds their self esteem.All the best.rouchi6https://www.blogger.com/profile/03580500636098449632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2074245988180152453.post-44236430462495494812009-08-20T21:50:19.855-07:002009-08-20T21:50:19.855-07:00Woo hoo!

Since Ben has no residual high frequency hearing, we were very glad we gave him such a nice, low-frequency name -- we had considered "Seth" when I was pregnant, and we were so glad we hadn't gone with that!Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065377267682881396noreply@blogger.com
