+ One ear, two ears, red ear, blue ears +
You're one sick baby. You came home from school yesterday with a 102.6 degree fever, poor thing. You haven't been sick in a while, and it's already interestingly different from the last time you were sick. You still wanted to play with the dog ("Ball! Ball!") and you wanted to be awake and cheerful. But occasionally you would just stop in your tracks and cry. Why?

Because you have a double ear infection! Yikes! You were rubbing one of your ears quite a lot last night, so I was pretty confident it was infected. Daddy was off today anyway, so he took you to the doctor at 11. You have a double bacterial ear infection and some viral throat illness (not strep, apparently). I have to pick up your bubble gum antibiotics (your favorite!) on the way home tonight and you're on soft foods for the foreseeable future. Poor baby.

This morning, all you wanted to do was cuddle with me. If I set you down, or gave you to Daddy or really did anything at all, you screamed "Mama! Mama! Mamaaaaaaa!" Yeah, if that doesn't break your heart I don't know what does. I just want you to feel better soon.

Tonight is my 11-year reunion (long story), and tomorrow night we're going to a party for Daddy's best friend's birthday. So you'll be with Uncle Chris tonight and with Grandma and Grandpa Devine tomorrow night. At least you will get uninterrupted cuddle time with me tomorrow and Sunday all day.
