The ear infections...

This week the boys each got ear infections. The 2 year old started complaining of an ear ache so I took him to see the doctor. It was late in the evening so we had to see the on call doctor. Sure enough, he had an ear infection. The doctor gave us some sample chewable tablets to tide him over until the next day and we were off. I remember thinking I should have him take a look at the youngest one too, as any sickness seems to spread through the family like wildfire, but I didn't. The next night the youngest had a terrible night. My wife took him to the doctor the next day and he had infections in both ears. I should have trusted my gut.

I was talking with a co-worker about my trip to the doctor and he joked that he didn't even know where his kids doctors office was. It made me realize why I was labeled a "Millennium Dad" in the first place. I really don't feel that I'm that unique, which is why I started this blog in the first place, but I don't spend a lot of time with other people's families either...
