Look at who's bringing home the bacon?

our little breadwinner ;)


We had quite the trek today as Claire, Markus, Aidan and I took the bus to take part of an audiology test entitled "Maturation of binaural hearing". The purpose of this project is to investigate brain responses which are recorded non-invasively from small disk electrodes placed on the infant's scalp. The whole process took about two hours per baby! Aidan did a great job throughout the whole time and the best thing of all is that he made $20. Yeah! He also passed the testing which means that his hearing is just fine and dandy. (I'm sure that Auntie Praise would be so proud). I must say that I'm very proud that we made it to and back from UBC all in one piece and both babies behaved exceptionally well even on the bus. Upon arriving at our stop, we went to 7-eleven to redeem our free slurpees!

If you're reading this and it's still July 11, go to 7-eleven because it's their 80th anniversary and you get a free slurpee. =)
