I feel like I have a lot to catch up on over the past few days. First, here are some pics of Cason in his Christmas pajamas. He looked so cute. I mistakenly gave him his pacifier because it was time for bed and then decided I wanted to take a couple of pictures of him in the pajamas. I also decided that I didn't want the pacifier in the pictures so I tried to take it away for a moment and he was NOT happy in the first picture :). After he got his paci back, he was happy as a clam :)
Sunday Cason had a little bit of a runny nose but no other symptoms that anything was wrong. It was all clear drainage so we weren't very concerned. On Tuesday after he woke up from his nap I noticed drainage coming from his right ear. I called the doc and they told us to come in. He was not feeling great on Tuesday and didn't sleep well on Monday night at all so I was so glad they told us to come in. The drainage from his ear was from an ear infection. That's what happens when you have an ear infection with tubes. It is our first ear infection since the tubes and it has been 6 months. I thought the tubes were miracle workers and we would never have another infection as long as they were in---LOL---I was hoping at least. In addition to his ear infection, he also had a sinus infection, and it had moved into his eyes and was in the beginning stages of pink eye. When she said pink eye---I was not happy. My eyes immediately started itching and I was convinced I had it too---ha! When I was teaching school and a child got lice, my head would always start itching too and I would have the school nurse check my head a million times :) Poor Cason had to get on an antibiotic for his infections, get ear drops for his tubes, and eye drops for his eyes. We have to put the ear and eye drops in three times a day and it is a nightmare. He acts like we are literally trying to kill him. I know it is not painful at all to him but he just gets SO upset. It takes both of us to hold him down! We also got an eye drop prescription for Scott and I just in case we caught pink eye but thankfully we did not! Cason did decide to share his cold with Scott and I though.
On another note, Cason went from liking Elmo to becoming completely obsessed. He literally says his name at least 200 times a day! He wants to watch Elmo, and read books with Elmo in them, and play with Elmo toys all day! I am so tired of hearing Elmo's voice.
We went to Tyler for Thanksgiving and spent time with our sweet families. We have so much to be Thankful for and we just feel so blessed everyday! Here are some pics from our trip to Tyler. (Angie had Kaegan's old Santa suit at her house so we tried it on Cason and it was so stinkin' cute. The pants are a little short but oh well)
