Pre-school Screening, What I can't hear you!

So, I was anxiously awaiting all week for our pre-school screening. Not because I am anxious for him to go to school,my gosh I am a bundle of nerves. But because I was anxious to see how well he would do with there tasks.

I am a proud mama of my 25 weeker, and love to brag and boast, the things he can do and how fast he learns just takes my breathe away. But, (sigh) we did not even get past the hearing test, nope his left ear failed, which has been discovered at a hearing test last August, however they thought that the test itself may have not been age appropriate and that his ear canal was tiny, so lets repeat in 6 to 12 months. The Audiologist today through the school stated she saw small amounts of fluid, and again a tiny ear canal, so we wait 2 weeks to see if the fluid resolves and repeat the test. She said the fluid is not an infection that antibiotics would help, I explained that James did have a bad cold in February and she stated that fluid can take some time to clear, we will see, still things could be alot worse having had a 25 weeker. My husband and I have noticed James having trouble with his left ear, when he talks on the phone, if you hand him the phone and put it to his left ear he talks and listens for a moment then laughs and switches ears as he is telling the person OTHER EAR! So we will hopefully get this figured out and taken care of. Then they can reschedule the other test to see where to place him and what his special needs will be for school.

Other than that things are pretty good. James is such an awesome kid and I love being with him. Today was a long, but enjoyable night despite the absence of our afternoon nap. Our neighbor had her two grandchildren over whom James absolutely adores (Emma and Courtney) So all he wanted to do knowing that they were over there visiting is play. So play he did and around 8 :30pm he was asleep, in fact I gave him a bath about 8:15pm and was putting on his pj's and he fell asleep on the floor, so thanks NANCY!!! I myself took a nice relaxing bath, put some laundry away and here I sit catching up on my blog and blog reading.

Have a Great weekend!
