Enough with the ears!
Okay, I guess we have kids that don’t complain much when they’re not well. I was surprised when I found out how sick Avery was a few weeks back (she hadn’t been fussing that much; I only took her to the doctor because she had a lingering fever and was somewhat lethargic) – and I was just as surprised to discover today that Zoe has an ear infection. Zoe commented a few times over the weekend that her ear hurt, but she otherwise seemed fine. It was only when her teacher called and said she was moaning in her sleep during naptime that I began to suspect something wasn’t right.
For having an infection (a “red-hot one,” in the doctor’s words), Zoe was in pretty good spirits. She was bouncing around the doctor’s office, and she said she was excited to meet “the boy” (i.e. the doctor who saw her in Dr. Fernandez’ absence). And she also made me laugh after I told her she wasn’t going to school tomorrow because of her ear. “Well, we can put a Band-aid on it,” she suggested. “That will probably help.”

OMG!! My stomach hurts from laughing so hard! Not only about Zoe’s bandaid comment but also the comment about meeting “the boy”. . . now WHO does that sound like??? How could we ever forget “where does the boy work?”
Wishing her a speedy recovery. . .with or without bandaids :)
Hugs and Kisses

Sorry to hear that Zoe is sick now. I cannot believe that you have 2 daughters who can stand the pain of ear infections without complaining or showing any signs. Just like their father when he was young. Get well soon Zoe, we love you
