Both the kids are down with double ear infections, as diagnosed by the doctor today… He prescribed them a different kind of 3-day regimen antibiotic, so hopefully they’ll feel some relief shortly, especially my poor little Evie who was complaining about her earache this morning. (Ethan doesn’t really ever complain …
At bedtime, after medicine for her persistent cough: “Good night, honey bunny.” “And daddy?” Conjunctions are all the rage with the preschool crowd.
