Milestone!

This morning at breakfast I turned on the usual PBS cartoon channel for Jace as he ate and waited for the school bus.  While he was eating, I put his CI device on him, the usual green light flashing letting me know it's working.  Several minutes later, Jace signed to me that his device was 'off'.  I looked for the green lights and sure enough, the batteries were dead...I was SO excited to know that Jace REALLY DOES HEAR!  And he knows the difference!  Sure, he doesn't understand anything yet, or know what sound is....but this is a HUGE start!  
Signed,

Jace's 3rd Activation

...silly boy...although he makes some facial responses when she turns up the sound, one video captures the surprised look when she turns OFF the sound.  When the sound is off, he doesn't want to wear the device.  THAT IS WHY HE WAS ALWAYS TAKING IT OFF AND HIDING IT>>>DUH, MOM!!!  I thought it was because he didn't WANT to hear the sounds.  I can't wait to begin his rehab with the Listening Center! 

The new videos are on the YouTube sidebar to the right of this page.  Click on it and when the page comes up, click on 'spierroful' at top right hand corner.  All of his videos are there....
