What? Why? What?

Children that are Chance's age usually ask a lot of questions. The world is new and full of wonder. Chance asks even more questions than average. Before Chance got the implant, we had been told that some kids start asking questions on a continual basis once they get the implant. We thought this might happen with Chance as he is inquisitive anyway. Sure enough, Chance has a question for every situation. Who was I talking to on the phone? Why am I laughing? Where am I going? Why is Phil(the bus driver) not coming? Why is there no school on Monday? What did that man say? Why do the people in National Geographic not have clothes on?(oops!) I think Chance is realizing more and more that there is a world of sound around him and he wants to know what is going on. He asked lots of questions when he wore hearing aids, but he is asking even more now. Now he picks up on parts of the conversations more often and wants to know what the context is and what he missed. Chance's ability to hear more is opening up more of the world to him. We are very excited for him and the journey that he is embarking on.
