Ear Infections and Sloppy Joes

Izzy has yet another ear infection. This past Saturday, while Brent was at BockFest with some buddies, Izzy was up ALL NIGHT LONG, screaming at the top of her lungs. I sat up with her and tried to comfort her but she screamed herself awake every 20 minutes. We took her Sunday to the Urgent Care and they confirmed the ear infection. This is #4. I'm going to have to ask her pediatrician whether we should consider tubes in her ears to facilitate drainage and hinder bacteria growth.

Another side note: Izzy gave herself her very first Sloppy Joe Facial tonight at dinner! I'm not sure if this is a tactic we're supposed to take, but we have been allowing her to feed herself some of what we eat for dinner while we're eating. Hence, Sloppy Joe rubbed in the hair, the eyebrows, the cheeks, the chin, neck, hands, wrists, arms, etc. You get the picture. It was truly hilarious. Following the Sloppy Joe Facial was Izzy's first shower with Mommy and Daddy! No amount of wet papertowel was going to clean up this mess so into the shower we went! First take? Not so hot. After a few minutes, though, she was back in action, batting at the water spray and smiling through it all. I pray that she retains her ability to find joy everywhere.
