So I will go back to Friday morning, nice and early. 340 AM to be exact. Kevin and I were awoken by screeching coming from Isak's room. Not crying, not yelling, but squealing. Very loud squealing and the sounds of running feet along a crib mattress. Occasionally we would bursts of laughter in between the squealing. Yes, Isak was wide awake, apparently having a party in his crib with his stuffed animals in the middle of the night. This continued for about 15 minutes and we decided to ignore it in hopes that he would go back to sleep. It got quiet for about 10 minutes and then I started to hear whining. Isak hasn't woke up during the night in months so I decided to go check on him. He was fine, just apparently very awake. He went to back to sleep without too much trouble and woke up bright and early at his usual time.My first thought was that he had an ear infection because he's had a cold for the past couple days and I couldn't figure out why else he would wake up like that. So using my "motherly instincts" that have been right maybe a handful of times, I took him to the doctor that morning. Well the kid actually was starting an ear infection in his left ear and we started him on some antibiotics. Can I begin to tell you how many times I thought this kid has had an ear infection and its just been teething? I felt bad he was sick but somewhat glad that perhaps after a year and a half I might be figuring something out. He's never had an ear infection and well never had any medicine but tylenol and seems to be loving the yummy tasting amoxicillin and sucks it down with no problem. Anyway, it was a very long day for my sick little boy and the above picture is him when we got home from the doctor. He was such a good boy and held tight to his bunny the whole time we were at the doctor. The doctor was trying to look in his ears and asked isak, "do you have kitties in your ears? where are the kitties?" Isak looked at me and said somthing like, dubba dub a duh? like, "what kitties, where are the kitties mom?". It was funny.
This was our little snowstorm we had here friday night. It only lasted a couple hours but the flakes were huge and we got a good inch or so.
Isak in his new winter coat. Its reversible and in boise state colors. Its pretty puffy and I think he has a hard time getting around in it but he's getting more mobile. It should keep him very warm this winter.

Believe it or not, John has an ear infection!!! We both have colds, and his turned into an ear infection...at age 54!!
He doesn't have a bunny, though.
Poor little sweet Isak. I hope he feels better. It's really good you have your mommy instincts and caught it quick :)
He's so cute.
Oh, and linds shared the story of his bathtime fun. SO FUNNY!!! We all laughed and laughed and laughed and then wanted a video but didn't know if that would make us perverts for asking? LOL You have quite the character.
Ha ha, I got to watch Isak play last night and twirl on his chair and watch his eyes twirl around in his head (it made me think of when Elijah used to twirl Danger Cat around on the hardwood floor and then watch him try to walk, but ended up running into the door, luckily, Kevin didn't put Isak down on the floor after spinning him, We just watched him laugh as his eyes acted like he was taking something a little stronger than amoxicillan, fun times in Boise
Lori, do you remember when we used to twirl around in my front yard under the trees until we fell down? It was our child version of "tying one on".
Good times.
