Things have really slowed down since the holidays and I realized that I haven't taken many pictures lately. Mitch is studying for the Bar exam every day, I'm staying busy at work with a flood of new evaluations, and Cal keeps busy playing and learning with his friends at daycare.
We took Cal to the Ear Nose and Throat doctor last week and our suspicions were confirmed.....he needs ear tubes. He has had fluid behind his ear drums since October, so he hasn't been hearing the clearest for a few months. At his appointment, Cal actually failed his hearing test in the left ear so although we are nervous about him going under anesthesia, we're excited for him to have less frequent ear infections and better hearing. He has the surgery on February 4th. Luckily it is an outpatient surgery and the doctor said that it doesn't take any longer than 30 minutes. Another positive is that he won't have to get an IV. They'll have him drink something to make him sleepy and then they'll have him breath in a gas until he sleeps.

Cal loves playing with his good friend, Ollie. I fear that the feeling isn't always reciprocated by his furry pal. We've been teaching him how to be gentle with the dogs, because he will get really excited and start slapping/fake scratching them while laughing. On this particular day, he decided that Ollie should enjoy the balloons, too. She looks thrilled, right?
I found this hat at the Dollar store and he loves wearing it around. Fittingly enough, Fireman Cal was wearing his firetruck PJ's!
He had stood still for long enough.....CHARGE!!!
The fireman's hat is fun for the whole family!
Our little nudist likes to escape during changing time.
