The Girlfriend Story and Time for Tubes :-(

I do not have any new pictures to download right now (it has not stopped raining long enough to get outside) but I wanted to tell everyone about Davis's girlfriend Heidi. Davis has graduated from the infant room at day care to Suite B which is a transitional room until they are about 18 months old. From there they transition to Suite C until they are potty trained and then they move to Classroom 1. Anyway, we thought the transition would be terrible because they are not allowed bottles, lunch is at 10:30 and they only nap one time from 11-1 (on a cot, no less). He has done wonderful! I started only offering the sippy cup to him at about 10 1/2 months and it only took him about 3 weeks to transition solely to sippy cup. He totally forgot about the bottle overnight. He is always super tired and starving when he gets home, but I let him take a cat nap from like 5:30-6 before we eat dinner. Everyday at school I ask about his day and the only shortcoming he has is naptime. He will sleep great for about an hour and then he gets up and wants to play, which disturbs the others. Well, about 3 weeks ago when he woke up from his nap he crawled into the cot with Heidi and started cuddling with her. The teachers thought it was sweet, so they just let them lay there. Then when everyone started waking up they noticed that Heidi and Davis were lip locked!!!! From that point on Heidi and Davis have been a little munchkin couple, haha. They really are always together it is hysterical. There is another couple in the class, Kate and Brody. Those two even hold hands and will get jealous if the other is playing with someone else. They act like they are married. Who knew 13 and 14 month olds could have such behaviors.

Moving on to a not-so-fun subject... Davis had another ear Monday which makes about 6 in that many months. We had an appointment with Dr. McWilliams, ENT on Wednesday and he recommended beyond a shadow of a doubt that we get tubes. As a matter of fact, the right ear was infected on Monday but the left looked great and even after a shot of Rocephin the left ear still got infected. Every parent that has had them on their children say it makes a world of difference. The tube itself is smaller than a "braces" rubber band and they are only under anesthesia for about 5 minutes. Dr. McWilliams said he will even be able to go back to school the next day. The surgery is scheduled for April 7 so hopefully after that we will have no more ear infections!
