We had a brief appointment with the Senco at mainstream nursery yesterday, in general, they are extrememly happy with the way that Amelia has settled in. They have said that over the last few weeks they have really noticed a change in her, and that she is much happier mixing with the other children rather than staying with the adults all the time.
They also have offered to chase up an OT appointment by asking for some input from them!
In the afternoon, we had a hospital visit for her hearing check. This should be done every 6 months but she hadn't been seen since Nov 2003!
As they were about to start the test,the audiologist asked for the other toys to be made available, and I explained that it might be a good idea as Amelia doesn't always co-operate and her attention level isn't always great!
Well to my delight, she proved me wrong. Every time she heard the noise (a soft sort of warbling noise) she beamed from ear to ear and said "BIRD" and very smug, placed a little wooden man in the boat!
She completed the test beautifully. She does has some fluid in one ear, but this should improve as she gets over her sniffles!
She wasn't so co-operative when I tried to get her back in the buggy though!
