Ben

Ben is scheduled to get tubes put in and his adenoids pulled out next Tuesday. When they looked in his ears today he, surprise surprise, still had an ear infection. He has been on antibiotics straight and hasn't seen a month go by in his short life without ear pain. He is quite the trooper and I am thankful that he might have a reprieve coming soon. Joshy saw improvement when he had his, so I hope Ben sees the same. I have no reason to think he won't. While we were in the office, me holding Ben in the chair and Joshy and John on the side, the doc was rambling through the explanation of this and that. The entire time he is having to talk over the sound of Joshy going one....two...three...and then ramming into Ben at which Ben starts cracking up. He had just been crying so I didn't want to stop the fun but I could barely hear the doctor over the laughing and counting. I suppose it is a good thing that he spends a lot of time around kids. While checking out, the ladies at the desk were smiling because Joshy started jumping up and down when he found a transformer sticker in the bucket. He gets so excited over the littlest thing and that in turn brings so much joy to others. Oh but no worries, he offsets said joy with his bone grating loudness. Still, loud or no, no one can make Ben smile quite like him.
