isaac woke up early from naptime on wednesday feeling just awful. he was up long enough to tell me his ear was hurting and then proceeded to fall asleep on the couch (in his typical fashion) before i could even do anything to help.
we figured it must be an ear infection, so these became our favorite buddies for a few days to see if we could get it cleared up fast.
even sick and miserable, isaac said 'cheese' when he saw i was taking a picture.
we kept oils on a cotton ball in his ear by having him wear his hat around.
by thursday he was feeling much better as long as he had some motrin in him.
we had to find some fun things to do to keep us from going crazy staying home for a few days. we made some hats that we found in our curious george book - for boys and their friends.
poor kid just looked miserable most of the time, but was so happy :)
this morning, we did a yard sale with some friends who were moving. ryan had a meeting, so i took both boys with me. isaac had to borrow a hat to cover his ears since it was windy, but they had lots of fun playing on these bikes all morning.
the oils seemed to clear up the ear infection quickly (ryan monitored its progress with our otoscope). so grateful to have something to try first without having to run to the doctor!
