Ear tubes Again and Great Wolf (3 years and 17.5 months)

Austin had his ear tubes placed again on January 27, 2014.  We decided to have it at Rainbow this time.  It was a longer drive and the weather was nasty that morning.  We made it fine however the doctor was running late.  The surgery was suppose to be at 8:30 am however they did not take him back until around 9 am.  Austin got to pick who he wanted to go back with him and he picked Daddy.  It worked out because I went back with him the first time.  Brian kept Austin busy talking about Mousekatools and looking for tools in the operating room.

The surgery was quick and the doctor came out and talked with us.  He had a lot of fluid behind his eardrum so it was good that we got the tubes again.  Hopefully this will be the last time.  Austin woke up and we were not there.  It took them a while for them to call us back.  He was a little dazed but basically himself.  He did not want to drink anything but he had to drink before we could leave.  Finally he drank some juice and we were on our way home.


My mom stayed with Sydney while we were at the hospital.  This helped since it would have been very hard to bring them both to the hospital.  When we got home Austin was back to himself.  He was running all over the house, jumping around, and playing with Sydney.  You wouldn't know anything had happened.  There is no slowing Austin down.

Austin has been potty trained at home for pee pee.  He has not went poopy on the potty yet.  He will also go in public places if we have his Mickey Mouse toilet seat.  He will not go at school.  We don't understand why.  We have tried and tried.  He now wears pull ups because he will keep them dry and use the potty unless he poops.  He is still not dry at night though so he wears a diaper then.


This past weekend we went to Great Wolf Lodge in Sandusky.  We went with Lisa, Keith, and Kaitlyn.  We left on Sunday after lunch and stayed until lunch time on Monday.  Austin had so much fun.  He loved all the water slides.  Sydney had fun too but Austin really had fun!  The water park closes at 9pm.  They usually start going to bed at 8.  Austin still wanted to play at 8:50 and we had to carry him out!   It was nice to get away.  Kaitlyn and Sydney played together a lot when Austin was off doing something they were not interested in.  They had a smaller pool area with a little slide that they both liked.  Austin liked the little bit bigger water slide and climbing up an area in the middle that had water falling on it. There were areas that he could turn on and off the water using knobs, ropes, and wheels.  It was a good time.


Austin was quick to claim a bed in our hotel room at Great Wolf Lodge.  Can't you just hear him asking, "So where is everybody else sleeping?"
