Amazing!

Amazing!

Cece’s Developmental Dr. was up from the lower 48 and he saw Cece today. I mentioned her auditory sensory issues and he suggested getting her some noise reducing headphones. So we went and got some tonight…

HUGE difference! It’s like a different child!!! We were walking home from Walmart and were along the Spur Highway like usual but now instead of quivering and hiding in the stroller covering her ears…completely overwhelmed NOW Cece was sitting up, looking around, telling me everything she was seeing AND SINGING!!!! Unbelievable! She fought with them in the store and didn’t want to wear them when we were shopping but once we got out side I told her to put her “ears” on and she did and didn’t take them off until we got home!

Such a small simple, inexpensive thing that’s made a HUGE difference already!!! Amazing!

Each morning when I open …

Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it.
