Just for the record, Ted currently has a middle ear infection. Everybody say "Ahhhh".

Just a bit more for the record, we had the most frustrating night of (not) sleep that I can recall in a long time. Ted must have come through (or just lay in bed and howled) a dozen times or more. I kid you not. The problem was that he couldn't tell us what the matter was... he simply didn't seem to know how to tell us that he wasn't sleeping because his ear hurt.

It wasn't until Nikki was trying to wash his face and noticed that his right ear was overly filled with wax (and he was guarding it) that the light bulb went on, so to speak. And so... one trip to the doctors later and we have his second of course of antibiotics.

*sigh*

War Wounds!

Well, there you go... some days you just can't win. We had to go pick up a prescription from the doctor's surgery on campus after nursery. Ted dutifully (not quietly, note, but dutifully) let me plonk him rather quickly (and definitely unceremoniously) into the car (I was, just for a change, running late) and we scooted up to the surgery.

Having done that, I relaxed a little, so when Ted spotted some birds on some grass (raised from where we were) around the nearby halls of residence I was happy to pop him up on high, hop up myself, and let him toddle around (perhaps "toddle" isn't doing him justice these days, but there y'go). So for the next five minutes or so we chased birds (or rather, Ted chased birds and I carefully herded Ted away from the five foot drop back down to the path) until we found ourselves at a point where the path came up to meet the grass at which point I deemed it time to go back to the car.

Ted then, giggling happily, started running back down the path... *trip*... WAAAAH! So we now have two skinned knees; our first, we think, of no doubt many. And this in spite of my constant vigilance in making sure he didn't hurl himself from up on high and hurt himself.

*sigh*
