She can hear!!!

I had been told before that she can hear what's going on around her, but I never had evidence like on Saturday. Jason was working on the lawn mower and was trying to take the blade off, but it was just too much for him to tilt the mower and try to use both hands to get the blad off. Anyway, I ended up being his lovely assistant (holding the mower handle to the ground with my foot). Every time he hit the wrench with the hammer, it would make a loud clanging sound and a split-second later, our little girl would kick me (I didn't even do it!).

Despite the new discover of "hearing", we did not have a great day on Saturday. After Jason finished cleaning the lawn mower, his next project was to check the water heater (our showers would get about 5 minutes of hot water, then turn cold). As soon as he opened the crawl space, he saw water on the ground and water flowing out of the bottom of the water heater in a steady stream. To make a long story short, we bought a new water heater. Jason and his dad moved the old one out and the new one in. Jason hooked up the wires Sunday and we now have really hot water. Sunday felt like I was camping; using cold water to wash my hair, but it sure makes you appreciate hot water when you have it!
