day 3

today we had our appointment with our ENT to follow up on the fluid in mason's ears. so this morning i dropped carter off for a play date at his friend olivia's house, and then headed to children's to see our doctor.

today mason's ears looks good. we discussed my concerns with his speech and language. lately his speech has become very robotic sounding. he also says "what?" all day long. well, he passed both his hearing test, and the test to check the ear drums... great news! i also asked for the doctor's opinion on hadley's ears since she is on her 3rd ear infection and she is only 4 months old.

basically the doctor told us that he is hoping that the kids will both have healthy ears now that we are entering spring/summer. if either get an infection before the fall, to give him a call and we can discuss putting tubes in, but he doesn't want to be too aggressive right now. so, now we just wait and see.

after our appointment, we met some friends for ice cream at Tootsie's. today is opening day for the season, and we all got an ice cream... too bad it started to rain, and we couldn't eat outside like we planned. one of our favorite things to do in the summer on sunday nights is to get an ice cream at Tootsie's and walk to the center of town and listen to the concern on the common. i can't wait to bring hadley this summer. lots of times we meet andra and phil there, and this year avery will join us too!!!

so far this week i have spent a lot of time driving... and it looks like the rest of the week will be busy too. if we don't stay busy, then the week seems to drag on forever.

in other news, poor mason wants to be just like carter. everything and anything carter does, mason wants to follow. he gets so sad when he can't do it all. one of these days carter will like playing with his brother and not get so annoyed with him, and when he does i am sure mason will be there waiting for some brotherly love.
