This morning Dave and I took Ajax to the doctor’s office for his last shot of antibiotic (rocephin). The Doc checked his ear and said his ear drum looked excellent and that the infection was already significantly improved. This made Dave and I very relieved. To say that Ajax was unhappy to be getting a third shot would be understating it, however, after the shot he rebounded well and the three of us sat in the waiting room eating veggie sticks. Ajax spotted a tiny nino, probably about two months old, and chatted away at him. We had to wait twenty minutes before leaving so that a nurse could check the injection site to be sure there were no signs of an adverse reaction and then we were cleared to leave.
When we got home Ajax took a nap, we had lunch, and then we all headed outside to shovel the driveway. What a great family activity. Well, it was a great family activity as far as Ajax was concerned. For some reason he finds this truly exciting and loves to help outside. He held his little blue shovel and trailed after Dave and I up and down the driveway. He was very serious in his chore. We even explored the back yard a bit, but the snow was a bit deep for him and he didn’t fight to much when it was time to go in.
After our hard work Dave treated everyone to hot chocolate and donuts. Now as a mom, I would not give a toddler crumbly donuts on the couch, but dads are a different story. While Dave was setting Ajax up on the couch I was trying to zip through the house with the vacuum. No sooner had I completed the living room and moved into the kitchen than I heard Dave say, oh no… umm… we may need to hit the living room again with the vacuum. Yes, powdery white donut sugar over the couch and floor. Dads and toddlers.
Also I would like to report that Ajax has a new Zu Zu pet, courtesy of his aunt Theresa and uncle Tim. Thank you very much!
