Maddie's Hearing Test

Madison had her hearing test yeterday and she passed with flying colours! Her hearing is perfect. They tested her because she was a preemie and because of John's hearing. She was amazing at the appointment. John took Emma for a drive while I hung out with Mads in the waiting room. She went right over to one of the toys and started playing. Every once in awhile she would look up at me with this really sweet smile. It's like she was trying to hide the smile, it was shy and special. When they called us into the appointment the doctor said "Hi Madison, my name is Mary and I will be checking your ears today." Maddie said "hi Mary, here ears."! They stuck something in both ears and she didn't even flinch. Then they took us in a room where different sounds went off and she had to turn towards them. When she turned towards the sound, a light would shine on a puppet. My job was to not speak but to make sure her head turned back to the middle after she looked at the lights/puppet. She finished the test in 20 minutes, and usually it takes an hour because the toddlers are not cooperative. The doctor said she has never seen someone so well-behaved! Yay Maddie!

We went outside to wait for John as it was a beautiful day. We counted birds and airplanes and ran up and down the driveway. When we got into the van Emma said "oh my goodness, Maddie, you ok?" We said that yes, Maddie is ok. And Emma said "Maddie doctor, you ok?" She must have asked Maddie the entire way home if she is ok! So cute. She is always concerned about her sister!

Today we went to Peyton's birthday party. Emma didn't nap, so ten minutes before getting to Cindy's house, she falls asleep! She didn't even wake up when we got to the party. So I took Maddie in while Emma slept in the car and John waited with her. He woke her up shortly after and she came into the party. She was really well-behaved surprisingly. I think there were a lot of toys and kids to distract her. She had a meltdown as we were leaving to go home because she didn't want to leave. They are now sound asleep after a great couple of days!
