The Big Test

Hearing test... done and dusted. As suspected, he was not into the idea at all. Folded arms, tears, bargaining, humph-ing, he did the lot. Also as suspected, he can hear every word I say. Although, I was wondering until just near the end if I actually had my Lion there with me. The child that was in the room with me was quiet, methodical, ordered, not my Lion. My Lion is noisy (too noisy, partly why we were there), haphazard, chaotic, that's my lion. So we got through all the tests, Lion behaved and did everything he was told. I did feel a little sorry for him, and for all kids that go for hearing tests there... Many of them are already having trouble understanding what people are saying, then they go and put an Indian Dr with a very strong accent doing the tests. **I am absolutely not doubting her qualifications, she was great, this has nothing to do with any high profile cases of overseas trained Doctors** Lion was concentrating so hard to make sure he did the right thing and I could tell he just wasn't sure what she was saying some of the time. So he passed with flying colours, now I know he is just ignoring me. I think his biggest problem is actually that he has his brain all over the place all the time, he can be concentrating on three things at a time and he is coping with that but then mummy's voice comes in too and it is just that one thing too much for him to concentrate on. Ahh, he tries very hard to be a good boy, I love him even if he does ignore me!
