Lewis rediscovered his Elmo piano the other day. It has 3 settings, moving from easiest to most difficult. He has mostly played with it using the easiest setting where he just has to hit one piano key to play a whole song. The hardest setting requires him to "follow the lights" hitting the keys as they light up to play a song. He figured out how to do this, and it absolutely cracked him up at first. Now that he's a pro it's not funny anymore, but we're glad we caught him in this moment.




Also this week we finally got to pick a new speech therapist. We chose a man named John Paul something who has a lot of experience in speech therapy, but also with feeding issues which should help us. We haven't met him yet or even set up our first meeting, but we should see him in the next week or so. We feel good about our decision so far! We're hoping that a man may have a completely different impact on Lewis in the area of speech.

We also had Lewis' hearing screening yesterday and he passed with flying colors. Our boy can hear! We figured he could, but wanted to be sure there wasn't a problem we were missing. Lewis' main passion these days is listening to his Laurie Berkner "Victor Vito" cd. We'll all be relieved when he passes through this phase. It's wearing us out!!
