Ear. Broke.

Mason is going to be one of those kids who it's really tough to tell when they're sick. Earlier this month, with very little warning, signs, or symptoms, we discovered BOTH of Mason's ears were infected.

This past Sunday night, Mason woke up in the middle of the night crying. This is SUPER rare. Then on Monday he pointed to his ear and said "Ear. Broke." So I called the pediatrician. He has no fever, no fussiness. He's eating fine and sleeping fine. But, again, he has an ear infection. Luckily this time it's just one ear, but still, we're back on antibiotics for 10 days.

I'm really hoping this ear infection thing doesn't turn into a common occurrence, but one this is certain...I am SO glad he can finally talk! Even if all he says is "Ear. Broke." at least he can finally TELL US when something is wrong or hurting.

Awwww. Poor little guy. I bet him being able to tell you what's wrong is a huge help for everyone.
