The upside of being sick



Well, Ben is working on his fourth ear infection. This time it is a double ear infection with some gunk in his chest so we are sporting the inhaler too. What I find most amazing is how tolerant he is of being sick. I called the doctor because he had a fever for 48 hours, but no signs of ear problems. When I took him in to the doctor, he was very unhappy with the ear inspecton and then he just toddled off around the room checking everything out. He never really cries or shows signs that something is going on. He is such a little trooper! Well, he got up especially early this morning - 7 AM! By the time 11 rolled around he curled up in Daddy's lap and fell asleep. This is the first time since they were newborns that either one of them has done this. I had to take a picture and share. It was too too cute. Ben seems to have the same effect of Daddy as he did when he was first born. Put him out like a light! It was a great napping day and now we are off to watch the Super Bowl (commercials!).

Hey Vanessa!

Sorry to hear that Ben is sick! Mads has been sick as well with a stomach bug and double ear infection on top of it all. We were all sick last week, it was awful.

Wishing Ben a speedy recovery!!! Hope to see you soon =)
