Preschool Graduation

Wow!  Two posts in one day!  I wanted the blog post about Erik's hearing aids to be separate from the post about his graduation from preschool.  Anyway, it's official.  Erik is no longer in preschool.  He will start kindergarten this Fall and I cannot believe how fast these past 5 yrs. have gone.  Our tiny preemie is now a big boy!  I think I blinked or something, because suddenly he's not a baby anymore.  While I miss him being a baby, I truly enjoy seeing his personality emerge as he gets older.  He is non verbal, but he has a twinkle in his eyes that just brings a smile to this Auntie's face.  He certainly can be mischievous.  lol  We love you Erik and congratulations on graduating from preschool!  You truly are a miracle!

Hearing Aids

So, Erik finally got his hearing aids, and as we suspected would happen, he hates them and is always trying to pull them out.  When they first put them in he fussed a lot, I think it might have been stimulation overload, but he is getting used to them and hopefully he can hear us much better now.  So, here is a picture of him with his hearing aids in.  His mommy picked blue ones for him.  I hope he hears me now when I tell him I love him.  Aunty loves you lil' guy!
