Graham's eardrum

Poor Graham--his eardrum ruptured! I was taking him out of the bathtub tonight and getting him ready for bed, and green ick started pouring out of his ear. He hasn't been acting like anything's been bothering him, so it was a total surprise! All three of them have had runny noses for a day or so (and Blake feels like he has a little fever tonight), but nothing indicated that Graham was having such trouble. I called the doctor and she reassured me that he probably feels much better now that it ruptured, and to call her office first thing tomorrow morning to get him in to see her. He feel right to sleep, and never did cry about it or anything. (Then why do I feel like a terrible mom that might have missed a sign that he was having trouble???)

Sophie had a terrible night last night--she wouldn't go to sleep until after 11pm, then woke up several times during the night screaming for us. I finally grabbed a blanket and curled up with her in her tiny little bed. My back feels like it's in knots today, but by golly--she finally slept! Those nights won't be so rough once we move her up to a full-size bed, but this toddler bed with its itty-bitty mattress is torture. :-)

I'll let you know what the doctor says tomorrow!
