Visit to the Doctor

Yesterday I had to bring my son to the doctor to get his ear looked at. Over the weekend he had an earache and some drainage. He was in rare form for the visit. The whole time we were waiting to see the doctor he was wild. He was all over the place. He wouldn’t sit still. Once we got in the room to wait he took great pleasure in yelling/singing as loud as he could. I am sure that you could hear him all over the building. The more I would tell him to be quiet the louder he would get. Sometimes I think he enjoys watching me frustrated. When the doctor came in he was great he gave her no trouble, but she did say that she could hear him out in the halls. She said that even his yelling/singing was better than crying. He was given some eardrops and another round of antibiotics. Hopefully he will not have to have tubes put in his ears because he starts swimming lessons in a couple of weeks.

Future Rock Star

Tonight my son and I went to see his bestest buddy. Upstairs at his buddy's house my son found a microphone. He jammed out singing the Scooby Doo theme song like a future rock star the whole evening. He was jumping around and everything. It was just the funniest!

What a Sweetheart

So sweet… sometimes it just amazes me how purely sweet my son can be. Yesterday we went to the cemetery to visit the graves of my in-laws. Both passed away between when my son was 6 months old and his first birthday. When we got there he walked right up to the graves hopped up on his Maw Maw’s side and gave the headstone a kiss then walked right over to his Paw Paw’s side and planted a kiss on that headstone as well. We didn’t even prompt him or anything. It was a very precious moment that I am glad I was there to witness. I am sure that you are thinking we do this all the time or something but we don’t. We don’t make it home but once every couple of months and then we often don’t make it out to the cemetery.
