Happy birthday to my ears!!!

One year! One whole and amazing year! One exciting year of sounds for Luca! Today a year ago, he experienced sounds through his cochlear implant for the first time, and he wasn't happy, but I was, and I knew he was going to be soon, and sure enough, it just took him about an hour to feel comfortable and go with it. Now he is responsible for his bionic ears, he asks for them and lets me know if they are falling or most of the time (well I better retract this, he has lost one twice in two days and since he still hears with the other one, he doesn't even mention it...). My little guy is growing and his cochlear implants are part of him now, and he is loving them. And now I sometimes forget that he is learning to listen, he is adapting so well to them that he acts just like any other hearing kiddo. Go Luca! And what I am loving the most lately is how much he is enjoying music. I din't have my hopes up on that one since he was making me hush when I sung to him just a month ago, but now, now he sings along and plays different musical instruments and dances around, oh what a joy! Happy to youuuuu!!!! (that's how he sings happy b-day to you).

Un anho! Un anho entero y alucinante! Un anho excitante de sonidos para Luca! Hoy hace un anho, experimentaba los sonidos por primera vez a traves de su implante coclear, y no le hizo mucha gracia, pero a mi me encanto, y sabia que pronto a el tambien, y asi fue, solo le llevo una hora en aceptarlo y sentirse comodo con el. Ahora es responsable de sus oidos bionicos, me los pide y me dice si se le estan cayendo casi siempre (bueno mejor retiro esto porque ha perdido un implante dos veces en dos dias y como sigue oyendo por el otro pues no me lo dice...). Mi chiquitin esta creciendo y sus implantes cocleares son parte de el ahora, y le encantan. Y ahora a veces me olvido de que aun esta aprendiendo a escuchar, se esta adaptando tan bien a ellos que actua como cualquier otro ninho oyente. Go Luca! Y lo que mas me encanta ultimamente es que disfrute tanto de la musica. No tenia muchas esperanzas en ese departamento porque me hacia callar cada vez que cantaba hace tan solo un mes, pero ahora, ahora canta conmigo y toca diferentes instrumentos musicales y baila, que alegria! Felizzzz para tiiii!!!! (asi canta el cumpleanhos feliz el)
