This weekend we went to dede's house for jareds 5th bday. The kids swam in the kiddie pool and did slip n slide. That night we cane home to our beta fish which had died and we put him in the toilet for p to send off. P got so sad bc he loved the fish and when he cried he fell into my arms. He was naked and about to take a bath so as i loved on him i felt something near his left armpit on his back, i spun him around and saw a tiny baby tick. I knew it was new and he began to cry bc he was so scared. We got the tick off whole and taped it up and put it in a baggy to keep. They say keep them in case you ever need them to be tested for disease. He was so brave and we knew he mustve gotten it from dedes house out in the back yard.
Then tonight, 3 days later, while in bed he cried right bc he doesnt want to turn 5 and is so sad tomorrow is his last day as a 4 yr old. He cried bc "4 is the best age" , he said hes too sad to turn 5 bc its not as good as 4 and he doesnt want to get older. When you get older you have to clean and stuff. As he cried, he mentioned his right ear saying, "my ear feels weird like a tag is in my ear" (Like rustling) so crying i think made him notice it felt odd in there. I had to use the otoscope and saw a pretty good sized seed from what i assume to be a tree or plant as far into his ear as possible! I had to use the otoscope and a water spray bottle as an impromptu ear flush kit!
He was shaking crying when i confirmed he had something in there.
He said "i am not pwepared for this" but He was sooooo brave!!!! Laid and did everything i asked him to do! I said im so proud of u for telling me your ear felt weird.
It was a hard seed and im sure rubbing the drum. It was as far in as anything could go
I was nervous at first that i wouldnt get it
But the good news is NOTHING can get past youe ear. Its a dead end
But it was a round heavy seed thank God so it flushed out after about 4 attempts.
He cried so hard praying it wasnt a centipede - Thanks a lot uncle mikey for showing p a video of centipedes coming our of ears!
Poor thing will be exhaustrd tomorrow bc we didnt lay down until 11 due to the ear ordeal!
Afterwards he He said," well i guess lets go put it in a baggy by the tick" 😂
Then said , "im not going to dedes again" hahahaha. Hes goinf out of 4 with a bang!!! Heres to the last day tomorrow of my baby being 4 yrs old. And what a fun yr 4 has been (despite lip stitches, ticks, seeds in the ear and himfinding out hes getting a brother not a sister as he said he wanted!)
