Last weekend we were snowed/ice in (or at least we were advised by family not to make the 3-hour drive to visit during poor road conditions). It was a blessing in disguise. Lil’ Miss K was sick with her fifth ear infection, so I was glad we were home rather than on the road. And it was a rare treat to get an entire weekend to play at home. It’s fun watching her explore and learn. I can just see those little wheels in her brain turning. As an added bonus: snow on the ground = bright outside = nice indoor lighting!
(By the way, she will be getting tubes in the near future. If anyone has any advice or words of wisdom about tubes, please let me know. I’ve heard nothing but good things about them.)

My son had numerous ear infections the first year of his life. We had tubes put in when he was 14 months old and he never got another ear infection until the tubes fell out when he was 4. The ear infection he got when he was 4 ruptured his ear drum. He was never able to pass the hearing test they administer in school. My recommendation is to not wait. You don’t want her hearing damaged.
