EAR INFECTION

I’ve been feeling sick, cranky, clingy, and without an appetite for the last two and a half weeks, so I found myself at the doctor yesterday. It turns out my last ear infection never un-infected itself. But not only am I a total pro at taking medicine now, I (shhh) actually kind of like it.

RETAIL THERAPY

Yesterday, I went to the doctor because I’ve been sick for three weeks and have been really tired. I started crying before we even got in the car. So Mommy surprised me with a brand new truck that Grandma and Grandpa sent me. I cheered up right away! Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa!

Oh, and I have an ear infection.

FEVER

A week ago, I had my very first fever. And it triggered my very first (and hopefully last) febrile seizure. Dad left work to help mom bring me to the doctor. And, boy, was I exhausted from all that excitement. But the next day, I was back to playing with all of my toys and yelling at the cars on our street. Didn’t miss a beat.
