Justin’s First Ear Infection
Bret was up early this morning as he is on call and got called, plus he had some work to do at 7:00AM. Justin woke up early this morning and usually he will go back to sleep but didn’t. I took a shower and started straightening my hair for tonight. Half way through straightening Justin was fussy and said his ear hurt. Then he started crying and crying. He finally said his ear hurt. So kids in jammies we headed to the Woodbury clinic. They took us pretty quickly and Nicole was making everyone laugh. One lady said Nicole had made her day. It was confirmed Justin has an ear infection. We got home and gave him some Tylenol.He just slept and slept. Bret and Nicole went to Starbucks, got a bagel, and went to Target to pick up Justin’s medicine. She had fun out with daddy and Justin just slept on me. While Justin slept Nicole helped me to make lunch. So much safer to cook with only one child. Dad put together the kids little market. Justin was still sleeping, so I played store with Nicole. Justin seemed a little better when he woke up, but I didn’t want to chance anything so Nicole and I went alone to Alan’s event for presidency of Orange County Trial Association. The kids watched lots of TV today. It wasn’t fair just to let Justin watch and not Nicole. TV made Justin happy so we went with it. I was able to get all ready for tonight while the kids watched. Bret even helped to straighten my hair. It was so fun to just go with Nicole, we talked so much on the way down to the Balboa Bay Club. Dad and Justin played a bit, played games and trains. Nicole loved being at the event tonight. She said she was Cinderella going to the ball. Nicole helped take care of Tierney. Tierney was a little overwhelmed and tired. After some fussing T took a nap and was in a better mood at the event. Nicole loved all the circles all on the ground and went running and running around. I brought a ton of toys and snacks and I didn’t need to use any. She was an angel. It was a really nice event. Finally at 8:30 I decided to take Nicole home. She didn’t seem tired at all and fell asleep on the way home. Justin was still awake when I got home and he was in a good mood. He had a great time being with daddy and I had a great time with Nicole. I went back to the event to pick up Tierney, so Alan and Roberta didn’t have to worry about her. T was great for me, fell asleep on the way home. Nicole and Justin were so excited to see her this morning. My little girl all dressed up:
