Having fun

So yesterday I took Aiden to the Doctor because of how fussy and feverish he was the past couple of days. Yesterday in particular he was fussy when I would lay him on his right side to nurse. I had taken Michael to the doctor on Sat and ended up with antibiotics for an ear infection, and yesterday I left with antibiotics for another ear infection. The fact that Aiden has an ear infection is a bit irritating to me. Michael didn't have his first one until he was maybe 2 or so. I don't remember exactly, but I know that for the first year he never got sick enough to take to the doctor. I just feel bad for Aiden because he feels miserable. So once in the morning and once at night I round up the boys and give them their medicine. Michael likes it because it is bubble gum. If I am able to even get half of the medicine down Aiden I'm lucky. He ends up kind of unintentionally spitting it back out. I've taken to putting a hand towel under his neck before attempting it.
Today we had Mother's Day Out and I took both boys. I figured that if they really needed me I would be there. They both did good, but Michael was a bit more whiny than usual, the way he is when he is sick. I have the two year old room, and so I'm always saying to the kids, cover your mouth, don't cough on people, get a tissue. Stuff like that. At that age they just need constant reminders and help from their teachers. I will be excited when I get my four year olds back in the fall. I don't have to change their diapers. Aiden has been good at mdo, and I actually get to go in and nurse him at least once. It is strange though, today I noticed that when I was feeding him parts of his face got really tomato red, and then a minute later disappeared. Stephanie, his teacher, said that he did that earlier too. I have no idea if it is just him overexerting himself when trying to latch on, or if it is maybe some kind of allergic reaction to something. I'll have to keep an eye out though.
We took Michael to McDonalds today as a family after I got back from getting my car out of the shop at Prestige Ford. Today Aiden was perfect in the car and didn't cry at all on the way from my house to prestige. It was awesome!! Usually when he is awake in the car he screams the whole time, and yes, he was awake. He slept on the way back. Anyway, we had a bunch of fun at mickey d's and let Michael run around with a couple of kids he made friends with for about an hour.
A couple of updates on Aiden, mainly for my memory: He weighs 15 pounds, 11 ounces, down from 16. I think it is because his feeding schedule is starting to set itself up, and he is a bit sick. He can lift his head up pretty far, but maintaining that position is bit harder. I really do need to put him on his tummy more. He loves going outside and looking around. He can hold his head up pretty well when being carried around for a while. He definitely recognizes his immediate family, but smiles for other people too. He cracked me up on Saturday because he was sitting up in the stroller and laughing at me over and over. What can I say? I'm a funny-looking person.
