for levi

This boy makes my heart so happy. Even when he is being so stubborn, I realize I should be grateful he knows just what he wants. I have noticed some huge growth in this boy. Even though there are some exhausting days, I love his amazing memory, his sweet shyness and yet he is so social, his ability to light up our home, his excitement, his tender heart, and of course his squishiness. 

Today we took Levi to get a hearing test. He didn't pass the tests they do at the school so we needed a more in depth test. (It brought back memories of when I was about his age and had hearing problems.) As I looked through the little window I could see him sitting on the chair, with the headphones over his ears, and trying so hard to get all the 'answers' right. He would bite his lips and timidly raise his hands hoping he was doing it all right. My heart wanted to burst out, he was so grown up.  I am so grateful for this boy.  

Luckily, (I guess you could say that) he does not have any permanent hearing loss. He has had an ear infection for the past month that looks pretty bad in one ear. He never complained about his ears hurting. We will be getting him on medicine right away and going back for another test. And again I'm feeling grateful for modern medicine.
