LADIES AND GENTELMEN! WE HAVE AN "S" SOUND! Today is a great day at our house! Chance said the "s" sound, something he was not hearing with the hearing aids. His dad and I were so happy and exhibited such enthusiasm when Chance said the sound, that he started putting the s sound in front of words that didn't really start with s as he beamed at us. This delighted us too.... we'll take that s sound anyway that we can get it! One of our biggest concerns with the hearing aids was the apparent lack of the s and sh sounds. S is used so often in our language and Chance did not seem to realize that you could pluralize things by adding an s. He would say "I want more," or "I want two," instead of "I want two cookies" etc.
Chance also said the "sh" sound today when we were at the audiologist's getting his implant turned up. We are so excited. After years of hearing Chance say "nakes", when he and his brother caught one in the backyard, today we heard "snakes" with a strong s sound. Today is a very good day!
