Merry Christmas!

I hope Santa was as good to all of you as he was to me! I had a very fun Christmas, except for my sinus and ear infection. That has not been fun. But I was feeling a little better just in time to open presents Christmas morning! Santa Claus brought me some big blocks to climb all over and, oh yes, blow bubbles on! They were a lot of fun! And I figured out very quickly that they are another item that slide well on the wood floors, which means I can use them to get through the house. Mommy says they just match her living room so well!

Two of the gifts Papa got me were a big hit too! One was a Disney Princess tunnel that I can crawl through. I love it! And the fabric makes good noises when I scratch it with my fingers. The other was a homemade present...Papa put two rolls of toilet paper on a clothes hanger, so now I can unroll every bit of it and it's all mine! I can't get in trouble for it like I do when I sneak into the potty room! Mommy hung it in my room but I haven't unrolled it all yet. Papa will be sure to get a clean-up phone call when I do! :o)

On a side note, I had an eye appointment on Thursday, and it took several people to hold me still while Dr. Blumenfeld looked in my eyes. I was running out of things to do to escape, so I blew as many raspberries as I could when the doctor was close to my face. He sat up, wiped his eyes, and said, "Well, that worked!" Mommy thinks I figured out that it worked too, because when Dr. Blumenfeld came back for a second look a few minutes later, I went right to the raspberry trick again! But he got a good look anyway, and he said I still have a slight astigmatism in both eyes, but it has not gotten any worse since he first told us about it a couple of years ago. And my eyes were not crossing, so the surgery was a success. I don't have to come back for six whole months!

And about my ear infection: Mommy knew I had one because my hair keeps getting stuck to the drainage on the outside of my ear. But believe it or not, that's a very good thing! I have had several ear infections since I got my ear tubes, but there was never any drainage. Never! And that is the whole point of the ear tubes. But now here we are, after geting a "real" set of ear tubes from our new ENT, and the first ear infection I have, ta da! There's drainage! That means they are doing their job and my ear infection has not been painful! Hooray!
