Stef has her very first ear infection. She'd been complaining on and off that her ear hurt since about Friday. She's also still got green snot and said her peepee hurt when I wiped her yesterday am. So that bought her a trip to the pediatrician. The left ear has puss in it. I don't know if that's an ordinary ei or a bad one (somebody help me out there please?). She still doesn't seem bothered by it, maybe just a little punky, but mostly normal. Doc doesn't see any signs of a sinus infection and thinks the cold may just be lingering. Didn't see anything wrong with her peepee. I mentioned that she's also been (TMI alert!) digging her finger in her tooshy hole and saying it itches whenever I change her diaper. He said to check her first thing in the morning, before she gets out of bed, for pin worms. They're very common, but YUCK anyway! I didn't get to her before she climbed out of bed this morning, so there was no checking today.
She's with my mom today. I got a phone call that Stef had just streaked the neighborhood! Omi was right outside the back door and somehow Stef figured out how to open the front door. She was trying to come in thru the front gate when she saw that Omi saw her. So she squealed with delight and ran back to the front door, couldn't figure out how to open it from the outside, and started running up the sidewalk. The front door is now latched where Stef can't reach it. TG Omi lives on a very seldom travelled road. I think I have her sufficiently scared of cars that she wouldn't venture into the street alone anyway. Besides the fear thing, I can't help but giggle at the sight of her little bare bottom running up the sidewalk! She sure is a character!!

Hope your little streaker feels better soon! Don't know about the puss in the left ear; I'm guessing that's a sign that the infection is healing, but I could be totally wrong. Thanks for the hugs!
Ugh, poor lil Stef.
Cute story about her running outside bare bottomed. LOL
Ewww at the puss in ears, never ever heard of that, fluid yes, I would think its a severe one if puss though, who knows, but like Sara said maybe that is a sign of healing , good question, googling is what Imma do ! and the pinworms that's the 2nd case of that I've heard of, before my sister in laws neice never heard of such a thing, but it goes away really quick if she does have em :)
Hoping that the pinworms aren't at your house! They are a pain in the butt(no pun intended)I remember my family having them when we were kids. Dr. said kids that keep their hands in their mouth a lot get them more frequently. If she does have them, you will need an oral pill that both you and steve will have to take and you will need to wash all sheets/blankets in hot water. TMI: Dr, always told my mom to wake us in the middle of the night and shine a flash light on our bottom, and you should be able to see them around the tooshy opening because they come out at night. Another sign is little bites all around the area. I just checked Ian for them cause he tells me his butt hurts. I think it's because of him being potty trained and I have just been wiping him with regular tp. Well, that and the fact that he just discovered his tooshy and thinks it's neat to put his finger in it. (typical male) I started using the wipes on him since I figure they are gentler. Anyway, sorry for the book.
ROFL Koren !
