He can hear!


Tomorrow is our two week mark since Reagan's surgery for tubes in his ears. His pre-op hearing test was within normal limits, but he was also completely fluid free that day. On the day of surgery, he did have some fluid. In that two week time period, we are seeing some changes. He is repeating things that we are saying, especially things he hears his brothers saying (have to worry about that one a little!). Wednesday morning he was eating breakfast and turned to look around when a plane flew over. He has NEVER acknowledged anything from outside like that. This morning, he was going to push the garage door button and I said, "button." He looked at me and then the opener and said, "buttum." SWEET! It's not just about being the third child! We are very thankful to see this language improvement. He's quite proud of himself, too.

His favorite thing right now has everything to do with balls. Golf, baseball, soccer....
He doesn't want the plastic/play version of anything, he wants the real thing. Monty was working with him and kept trying to give him a plastic golf ball and club. Reagan stamped his little feet, threw his head back and pointed at the "baball" in Monty's pocket. Yes, the fits need some work, but the fact he knows what he wants is very fun to watch.

Busy weekend ahead...single mom duties, baseball tomorrow night, maybe a cousin's soccer game Saturday. Who knows? We are just going to have fun!
Blessings!
