Update.... 3 years with sound...!!

Lotte is moving on fast, catching up every day.
Lately her sentences became longer, more clear. Discovered rhymes, and more and more singing. Putting on CD's by herself (as in her own choice) with songs and/or stories..
Also writing new words is getting more and more her attention. She can write all the names she knows, but that's just remembering the order of the characters. Now she starts to figure out how to write words she hears.
It's a great adventure.!!

She had her yearly checkup in Oslo where they checked her equipment and tested her for hearing, sound discrimination, sentences etc. Everything was excellent.!!
In order not to waist time (and attention from Lotte), they skipped most of the easy tests in order to move on quickly.
She's at 92% on the scale of hearing / understanding. Whatever it means, and however it is calculated, it shows she's doing great.
In a way, we know, but it's nice to get it "officially"..... (why is that so important.?)

She is using longer sentenses, understanding more and more of the world.
More able to explain her wishes, and, recently, more able to explain what happened during the day, or previous day.

Some days ago, we had friends visiting us that we hadn't seen for almost a year, and when these kind of visits happen, people are amazed about how well they can understand her now, compared to a year ago. For us, it's a confirmation that she improves. Sometimes, improvements are so slow (like with any child growing up) that we don't notice, and it takes "outsiders" to give a sort of reality-check.
