Yeah! Ear tubes are in!



After much dread for the procedure - it actually went quite well! I was worried how the little guys would do since they were in a huge growth spurt and Malcolm is a voracious eater in the mornings. I got them up around 11:30pm on Sunday and gave them a bottle. Andrew drank his right up and Malcolm drank half. They were a little confused as to why we were in the car at 5:45am. But they didnt' complain. They didn't even seem very upset that strangers wearing scrubs and masks were taking them away! Andrew was more upset when Malcolm was taken away than he was when someone got him.

Anyway, Andrew had a little infection in his left ear and has meds. Malcolm had none. Malcolm has slept great the past couple of nights. Andrew had a little trouble - but I guess I would too if I had stuff draining out of my ear! Last night was better. I'm really hoping this means they'll be sleeping all night soon.

I was really sad to hear about the tornado hitting the Boy Scout camp. I will review the safety rules with Logan when we go to our campout on the 21st. I'm sure we'll be safe, but going over the rules can't hurt. He's just SO close to getting that Wolf badge! I want to try to get it all done before August. He wants to work on some belt loops too - he picked Math and Fishing as his first two to work on. We'll do the BB Gun and Archery ones at the campout.

Logan is having a blast at his day camp. They swim twice a week, go to a movie one day and on a field trip on another day. Friday they have a picnic in the park and reading enrichment. He's just brown as he can be even though I load him up with sunscreen.

Here's hoping we have another good sleeping night tonight!
