Sam has been having a difficult fall, health wise. Since September, he has had 4 ear infections and just recently was diagnosed with Croup. Last week, along with his pediatrician and an ear, nose, throat specialist, we decided that putting tubes in his ears would be the best thing for him.
Sam goes on Monday, December 10th for a pre-op appointment and is scheduled to have surgery to insert tubes in his ears on December 19th. I'm sure that he will be very glad to not have to take all the medicine that he has been on lately. He has done more spitting out of medicine, especially cough medicine, than he has taken. And that lovely red dye looks oh so pretty on his white t-shirts!
Even though he has been sick, his personality hasn't suffered. He is still a lively and busy 20 month old. He runs everywhere and dances anytime a hint of music can be heard. His ability to hear the beat in the music amazes me. He's not any prodigy, but he can keep time more often than not with the music.
He has started talking more too. His newest words are "eyes", "Nose" and "mine". We think the mine has come from the "big kids" at daycare. Sam likes to take toys from people regardless of whether they are playing with it or not - we're working on sharing...slowly.
