Brennen has his first ear infection. All the kids have been snotty nosed and had coughs, but I chalked it up to allergies and season changes. However, yesterday when I put the babies down for their afternoon naps, Brennen screamed like someone was stabbing him to death. Since I knew that wasn't happening, I went to check and he was pulling on his ear and screaming. I knew something was off since he's usually my mellow baby. I called his doctor, but they couldn't get him in til 8pm and that's bedtime for everyone and I work so I headed to urgent care instead. Sure enough his ears were "cooking" and he is now on antibiotics. Fun times taking 3 kids who haven't napped to the dr.
Teagan is loving school. She loves being with her friends and playing. We are usually one of the last to leave as Teagan likes to play after with her friends. Today was picture day. I'm hoping all her pictures turn out as good as last year. She is doing extremely well with her letter recognition now. This is something we worked on all summer and I didn't think she would ever get it and it began to frustrate me. Now, she is able to recognize about 22 of the 26 letters and can even write her name without the highlighter the teacher usually uses. I am so proud of my girl!
Emmersyn and Brennen will both be evaluated to start speech therapy soon. While I hate that something may be "wrong" with my kids, I would rather try to "fix" it now than wait til they're in school and struggling. First up, hearing tests. I don't think they have any issue with this, but it's one of the hoops you have to jump through. Then, they will get evaluated from the therapists to see if they qualify. I'm more worried about Emmersyn, but the doctor was more concerned with Brennen so we're sending both. I may go insane doing hearing tests with babies, but oh well....
