It's time once again for the LeBonheur Pumpkin Run! It will will be Saturday, October 10. We will once again have a Team Nola Gracyn and will be ordering shirts! Please check back for more information soon!

I'm a big school girl

I started my first day of MOSD on Thursday. I didn't cry- My Mommy & Daddy did though. Thank goodness they held it together until they got into the car! I did all kinds of great things my first 2 days of school. My teacher's name is Ms. Sue and she is a happy and loving lady! Ms. Schwartz is the director and she is beyond helpful. . In fact, Mommy & Daddy said they have not met someone who is not helpful and kind at my school. My speech therapist's name is Ms. Courtney and my listening therapist's (aural habilitation) name is Ms. Nathalie. I will be learning to listen and talk. I should get my hearing aids in the next week or so.
Mommy & Daddy say I am doing such a great job already!

MOSD

Nola will be attending the Memphis Oral School for the Deaf starting August 13. She has been fitted for her hearing aids and the ear molds even have glitter in them! Visit their website www.mosdkids.org to learn more about this AMAZING school where deaf children are talking.

You can also help their cause by purchasing a brick that will be placed on the sidewalk outside of the school. http://www.mosdkids.org/Details.cfm?ProdID=37&category=0

Bike Riding Babe!

Look at me sitting on the bike! I even have a helmet on...Safety First! Gotta protect my precious little head!

Party Girl

I went to Billy's first birthday party and I had fun- especially eating my cupcake! I even gave the birthday boy a kiss! And look at those curls I have! Mommy loves them!!!

I think I'm a big girl

I think I am a big girl since I am sitting at the table and coloring. Aren't I the cutest thing?

Hearing

We had more testing and I do have hearing loss. What degree or the type is not diagnosed yet. Me, Mommy, & Daddy will go to an ENT doctor on the 21st and then we will go back to LeBonhuer for another test. Whew! All this testing.

More Testing

We went to LeBonheur to have my hearing checked because Mommy & Daddy were concerned about it. The tests were not very encouraging, but we are going back on Monday for a test called ABR. Mommy has to get me to go to sleep before they can start the test- so here's hoping I am sleepy on Monday morning!

Me and the Animals

Mommy and I went to the Memphis Zoo with Aunt Amber and cousins Tristan & Addison. I had a blast! The older I get the more I enjoy things like the zoo. I especially liked the polar bear; he was swimming around and would come right up to the glass!!
