First ear infection!

So it turns out that Keren has a double ear infection.  One in each ear!!  Poor Keren.  When she woke up again this morning in a grouchy mood I decided it was time to take her to the doctor, especially since tomorrow they don’t have hours and then is Shabbat, of course.   So I took her in the morning and the doctor said her ears look horrible.  So then we ran to the drug store to pick her drops and antibiotics up.  By the time I got to ulpan it was half way over but thank goodness I listened to my instincts and took her to the doctor. 

This afternoon Ben and I hung out and cooked most of the afternoon away.  Talia had Rinat come over to help her with her Hebrew and they played a nice card game that Savta bought for her called Taki.  It is very similar to Uno but it has a few extra cards in it that Uno doesn’t have.  It’s really a nice game.  So they played in Hebrew and Talia was speaking and understanding pretty nicely.

This evening while getting Ben ready for Ben I noticed that he was out of diapers.  So I told him that we were going to start taking him to the bathroom in the middle of the night to pee and that he wasn’t going to wear diapers anymore.  Well, that didn’t go so well.  He kind of flipped out that he was going to pee and he would have to sleep in a wet bed!  So I dug up a swimmy diaper from somewhere and it’s only 1 size too small and I am sure it won’t hold much pee if he does pee (and he always does) but it made him feel better.  I am going to take him to the bathroom at night and see if we can’t get this training thing over and done with.  I have a feeling I’ll be going diaper shopping tomorrow, though. 

When I picked Ben up from school today his morah told me that he got a boo boo on his chin.  He was running and fell.  She said that she knew he was hurt b/c he cried and it was the only time that she heard him cry when getting hurt.  I was happy that she realized that.  It is totally true.  Eric and I always say that when he cries you know something is really wrong b/c unless he is tired, he doesn’t just cry like that when he gets hurt.  He really has to be hurt.

Eric held up the web cam today so I could see the snow falling in White Plains this morning.  So nice!!  I miss the snow.  Of course the weather here was absolutely beautiful here today…

Busy day coming up tomorrow between getting ready for Shabbat and getting Eric from the airport.  I hope to post before Shabbat.
