We brought Dax back to the ENT after the "premature" loss of his ear tube (ahem- 2 weeks) -
the doctor decided he wants to wait to replace it until we give Dax some time to see "if the vicious cycle has been broken."
(Vicious cycle: congestion --> ear infection --> antibiotics --> beneficial bacterial also killed --> weakened immune system --> congestion --> ear infection --> etc.)
I wanted to point out that the cycle is probably, in fact, still vicious- since it was congestion and an ear infection that popped the tube out in the first place. But I kept my mouth shut.
I asked about ear infections being related to dairy. He shot me down (along with our regular pediatrician). I'm still not buying it- and I'm going to continue giving it a shot. I have found far too much research supporting my idiocy.

| "Yes, Dr. Duncan, I have a question. Are you going to put my tube back in? |
So, in the meantime, Dax is back on antibiotics. And he chipped his two front teeth.
 |
| We have NO CLUE when or how Dax knocked about 25% of each front tooth out. He already had a really cute little gap, but now I'd just call it gaping. You can get it fixed- but it requires another round of general anesthesia. We have to fix it though- he's a biter, and it would be cruel to his classmates and sister if we left him with shark teeth. I'm so sad about this whole thing. :( |
So what do you do after a rough week of appointments and disappointments? Celebrate Cinco de Mayo at your favorite Mexican food restaurant!! (By accident, might I add- we were just going to out to eat on Saturday because Mommy didn't feel like cooking and/or cleaning dinner!)

| There was a Dora bounce house! |
 |
| No mam! Give that to Mommy... |
 |
| There was a face paint artist there! |
 |
| There was a clown making balloons there! Needless to say, Dax's popped shortly after this picture was taken... |

| Looks like Mommy is the only one bothered by the snaggletooth situation... I love you, sweet Dax! We are going to get your life issue-free sooner or later! (Probably not. Is that possible to do for a rambunctious boy??) |

What restaurant had that party? Looks fun! And I can't believe Dax did that to his teeth! Ha! He should have given you a break and waited on that one. The twins both have a chipped front tooth. It's really twilight-y weird actually. Grey did it first. And like you - I have no idea how. Then a couple months later I noticed the same exact tooth was chipped in the same exact spot on Luke. I guess it was in their DNA to have that tooth chipped. :) But there's isn't bad at all, so we didn't fix them. Dax sure did a number!
Hey! It's Fajita Willies- a SUPER casual (inexpensive) chain that has a sandbox, so we go almost every weekend! And that is SO CRAZY about the twins chipped teeth!!! Almost eerie. I'll keep you posted on what we end up having to do about Dax's-going to a pedi dentist on Wednesday!
