that's a lotta fours Mama!


When Jack wakes up at 3:30 or 4 am ready for breakfast, I try to get him to play quietly until at least 5 or 5:30. This is rarely successful. He finds lots of reasons to wake me up and remind me that he wants breakfast. At 3:33 he points at the clock and says, "Mama! Look! that's a lotta threes!" Then he does the same thing at 4:44 and 5:55.
Jack has been really under the weather for a while. He had an ear infection a couple weeks ago. The antibiotics didn't knock it out completely so he had some residual infection which he had to take a stronger antibiotic for. He started getting sick (vomiting) over the weekend and we were concerned that he wasn't keeping the antibiotic down so I brought him to the doctor where the doctor (not our normal one) pronounced his ear infection cleared and we could discontinue the antibiotic after 7 days instead of 10 as originally prescribed. Since we were at 6 1/2 days and we had every reason to believe the antibiotics were making him vomit, we discontinued only to find out today that his ear is still very inflamed and we have to start all over with a 10 day prescription. Meanwhile, he continues to vomit around three times a day, so when we're not changing his clothes, we're doing laundry.
This picture was taken in between the bad days out at a new green space in Hunter's Point.
