Deaf Girl's Costume For School Photo Goes Viral

VIDEO: Deaf News: 3-year-old Deaf toddler becomes internet's hero with this epic class picture day outfit.



ROCKLIN, CA -- CBS News: When 3-year-old Kaylieann Steinbach picks out her school outfits every morning there are no mismatched socks, bright colored blouses or pajama-like pants.



Instead, the little girl sticks with her favorite theme: superheroes.



That’s why the preschooler’s parents weren’t surprised by their daughter’s outfit choice on picture day at her school, Merryhill Preschool in Rocklin, California.



For two straight weeks, the little girl had been running around in her bright blue velvet Superman dress and matching red cape. In fact, she wore it so much, her parents even had to sneak into her room to wash it while she was in the bath.





But they still got a good chuckle when they opened up their mail a few weeks later and saw her adorable ensemble -- superman figurine included.



Kaylieann’s dad, Alex Steinbach, posted the hilarious school picture to Reddit, and it received nearly 5,000 upvotes.



“As proud as any parents can be we do our best to support her with everything, including outfit choices,” Steinbach told CBS News. “We always let her dress herself and her choices show her personality well.”



Every day, Kaylieann makes sure everyone in her class gets a friendly “hello.”



They often try to guess which outfit she’s going to go with that day.



Her parents say it’s safe to assume it will be some version of a superhero costume.



“Since we’ve always let her choose her outfit we will continue to let her,” Steinbach said. “She loves expressing herself with her choices.”



Steinbach can’t wait to hang the photo, which perfectly sums up Kaylieann’s spunky personality, on the wall.



“She’s already smarter than all of us parents combined! She surprises us everyday and leaves us speechless and with tummy aches from laughing,” Steinbach said.

Deaf Baby Hears Mother's Voice For First Time

VIDEO - Deaf News: Deaf Idaho baby hears her mother's voice for the first time goes viral on social media.



BOISE, ID -- Daily Mail: This is the heart-warming moment a Deaf baby heard her mother's voice for the very first time.



Born profoundly Deaf, Annabelle Lawrence received two hearing aids on Wednesday and when they were turned on she couldn't hide her excitement.





When her mother Sarah Jo asked her if she could hear, the three-month-old broke into a massive gummy smile



Sarah Jo, from Boise, Idaho then asked again and Annabelle's eyes opened wide as she realized she was listening to her mother speak.



Sarah Jo said: 'Everything has been so overwhelming. 'To be able to tell Annabelle that I love her and know she hears me is very emotional. 'You could see how excited she was to be able to hear. I can't stop talking to her.



'Whenever I'm doing the dishes or putting a wash on I give her a running commentary. 'I want her to be able to catch up on the last three months.'



The video also shows the audiologist from Idaho Elks Hearing and Balance Center, Boise, continuing with tests to determine to what level Annabelle's hearing is working. When she heard clapping, she started to look a little perplexed and turned her head a full 90 degrees searching for the origins.



Annabelle's hearing aids are temporary as she will have cochlear implants put in when she is nine months old. Her current hearing aids enable her to hear sufficiently as the auditory nerve in her brain is functioning perfectly.



Sarah Jo added: 'At the moment she is really tired.



'I think hearing for the first time means her brain is working extra hard to understand what is happening. 'She is napping much longer than she did before to recuperate. 'But when she's awake she is so much more excited.'
