Noah had his hearing testing today through OPS. Everything came out normal, and there is no sign of hearing loss. I am so relieved! I was thinking a lot of his hearing "issues" were more like selective hearing and 4 year old behavior, but I couldn't be sure. Now I'm sure.
It was a very fun, sweet day with Noah today. I took Ella to her babysitter so that I could go with Noah on his preschool field trip to Wenninghoff's Farm, which is just a family's farm with a little pumpkin patch, some farm animals, etc. We got to paint pumpkins, go on a hayrack ride, and they had some activities set up for the kids, like racing with eggs on spoons and pushing apples through water with a spoon. Noah's favorite was the activity that involved eating a powdered sugar doughnut on a string without touching it.
After the field trip Noah and I came home and had lunch before we went to his hearing appointment. As we were walking into the building for his appointment, I could tell he was nervous and he said his stomach hurt. I asked if it was because he was nervous about his appointment and he said "maybe a little bit." I told him not to be nervous and that it would be fun.
He was so cute during the testing. He was so serious, but he did a great job. The testing itself was pretty fun for him. He had to push a button when he heard different tones, and the button made different pictures come up on the computer. After he was finished I said "See? Wasn't that fun?" and he replied that it was "funner than fun!" I don't think he'll be saying that after we see the Allergist for the allergy testing on Monday. I'm just so relieved to know that his hearing is okay.

I'm so glad you keep up to date on your blog! It's very good entertainment for me! :) I've always been intimidated by hearing tests, so I'm glad Noah thought it was fun. They say my hearing is normal, but the sounds they play are so quiet that I never know which button to touch!! And good job on your 5k!

Glad that his hearing is okay!
