Ears

The boys caught colds about 3 weeks ago, and the congestion will not go away.  Last Friday night, Matty kept waking up and saying that his ear hurt, so I took him to urgent care the next morning to find that he did in fact have an ear infection.  So, he started antibiotics right away.  Then, yesterday Zach was acting really cranky and holding his ear, so I took him in and he had an ear infection too...sigh.  So, he started his own antibiotics...only it is so difficult to make him take the medicine.  This morning, the sticky pink stuff ended up on my kitchen floor...still 17 doses left for him over the next 8 days.  To top it all off, it is freezing outside!  In happier news, Matty had 2 great days at school this week even though he prefers outdoor recess to the gym.
