I love how Emmi first calls for either Mommy or Daddy, then when we don't answer quick enough, she yells for us by our first names. If we still don't respond quickly enough for her, she starts yelling her teacher's name.
As I am currently ignoring her (because I already told her she needs to come to me, and not yell across the house!), she has been yelling for her teacher for the better part of the past half hour.

Emmi's Story
Emmi was born with normal hearing and a genetic condition that later caused her hearing loss. At eighteen months, she was diagnosed with hearing loss. By one month later, it had progressed from severe to profound. She received her first cochlear implant on her left side shortly after her second birthday. A year and a half later, she received her second implant on the right side. Within months of the second implant, Emmi's language skills exploded. She still has trouble with announciation due to a malformation of her soft palate, but she continues to work with private speech therapists, as well as the school district.

LOL - My excuse for not answering her would now be, "I'm not Lisa."
I already say, "But I am Mommy!" I always get this look that clearly says, "Whomever you are, just get over here and help me."
