We enjoyed a later start to our morning today as we arrived to the Child Development Lab at 10:00 am. This morning we screened 6 children, the majority of them were 2 years old. They were so fun to work with, we all love seeing their smiling faces as they walk into the room in which we were performing the screenings. Some of the children were very bashful and were nervous to sit down with us but we turned on our charm and the kids soon warmed up to us. Everyday we like to draw some picture on the white board. This seemed to be a great way to cheer up the kids.

Leaving the restaurant very full we made our way back to the CDL. We spent the next 2 hours screening children. During this time we saw our youngest client who was only 9 months old! We really enjoy when the little ones come to visit us upstairs. Most children were very cooperative which allowed us to successfully perform a hearing screening on them. While our 79th client was walking out the door we all realized that our two weeks in Kentucky were rapidly coming to an end. The 6 of us girls really enjoyed all of the time we had here and especially in the CDL. Every person there was so welcoming and kind. We exchanged hugs while holding back a few tears while we made our way out to the family truckster.

After a nice dinner at the cafe in town, we all relaxed in the dorm for the night. After a great last day in the CDL I think we are all pretty tired and definitely very full from all of the delicious meals we have had this week! Also, Melissa kindly gave us a 6 pack of something that none of us have had before, Ale 8! It is an ale soda that is made right here in Kentucky!
