We got Ally a S.esame Street doctor kit for Christmas. It is pretty funny - the stethoscope is Cookie Monster, the blood pressure cuff is Ernie's rubber duck, and the thermometer is Bert. Thanks to Michelle G., Ally now does not mind getting her temperature taken, in fact she LOVES the ear method - she calls it "check ears" and insists we do both ears, not just one. One day I caught her doing this:
Taking her temp on her foot (and no she is not supposed to have chicken nuggets on her chair)
checking her ear
trying it out in her mouth
too funny
enough playing its time to eat!Ally went to the doctor again yesterday, she was running a fever and had a runny nose, it was just as we suspected - another ear infection, this time in both ears. This is her third in 2 months. She is on a more powerful antibiotic this time and we hope it works. The medicine tastes pretty awful so Becky is bribing Ally with chocolate chips to get her to take each dose. The doctor suggested bribing with m-n-ms but all we had is chocolate chips! We'll go back to the doctor in about 10 days to make sure Ally's ears are all cleared up and discuss whether or not Ally needs to see a specialist and have her hearing checked out.

Poor Ally : ( I am so sorry your baby has been sick so much. I hope everything turns out ok at the doctors.
As for the antibiotic....did you know the pharmacist can flavor them - it does help quite a bit.
She is cute in her new outfit ; )
