About three weeks ago- or maybe a month- Lucy got an ear infection that perforated her eardrum. It sounds bad, but apparently is not as uncommon as you'd think. She had a very unfortunate leaking, and some very hard earwax... we put her on oral and aural antibiotics, and it got better.
Two days ago, it started leaking again, which is a sign that it perforated again, and means that if she doesn't now have an infection, she could soon...so I called our Health Insurance, then drove madly down the mountain to get to the Urgent Care Center before they closed.
We waited for an hour and a half before we got in to the little room, and the children were very good.








Then they conked out on the drive home. Lucy now has some little eardrops that tickle her, so that if she's too tired they make her angry, and if she's just tired enough, they make her giggle. And that's a post.

She is happiest baby-with-an-ear-infection (or even an impending one) that I've ever seen.

And possibly the cutest.
