We move you downstairs this morning to hang out for a little while so that Grandpa and I could put a dimmer switch on the lights in your room. You still love being downstairs, but you got sleepy pretty quickly since you had been awake since about 7! You refused to go to sleep though, and were fighting it SO hard!

Then you started talking to Nanny again...trying to get out of sleeping still...

A little while later, Nanny got some of your conversation recorded:

Technically, you should not be able to get any sound out at all because the trach is positioned below the vocal chords so the air goes in and out without passing over the chords. You've got such a large "leak" from your mouth being open most of the time that they have to accommodate that with some extra pressure from the vent so if you are positioned just right or holding your mouth more closed than usual some of that extra pressure will go up over your vocal chords allowing you to "talk". It's pretty neat to hear after so much time without hearing anything from you!

When sisters got home this evening we went for another walk and stopped by to see Aunt C and the boys (and the dogs). Then they got to help with bath time and getting ready for bed. It's so good to finally have our whole family under one roof!
