lets get up to speed 1st to 12th January 2011

so it was a quiet first week then on the 10th January Eleanor started nursery complete with statement and 100% one to one support.  I was told uniform wasn't compulsary but as every other kid in the class was wearing it I got her a sweatshirt the smallest one they did which was age 3 to 4 years.  It was a bit big to say the least.  here she is modelling it!

Then on the 11th we had a hearing test and here's what I wrote on Flickr that day to go with the photo

"A big day out.  Some of you know I had a bit of what could be described as a "pushy parent" moment before Christmas over Eleanor's lack of language, speech, listening  and someone listened!  Today we went to audiology for more rigorous testing and result her hearing isn't as good as we thought it was.  Sounds like bad news far from it.  Eleanor is being recommended for assessment at the cochlear implant centre to see if she's suitable for bi lateral implants.  Much relief all round that she performed well and I hope that the referer to the CI centre doens't hang around and gets on it.  I have momemtum lets keep it going....

Pictured are a new pair of hearing aids.  She lost one so we had an odd pair and they didn't have any giraffes so this time we have zebra print.  They should be easier to spot when they fall out."
