Zander had his first meltdown in a store the other day. It was SO embarrassing! He can throw a fit with the best of them. He'll scream at the top of his lungs--one long burst followed by two or three short ones, then continue with it until he gets what he wants. What happened?! He was such a quiet, peaceful newborn; I had to put a monitor in his room even though his bedroom is literally six feet down the hall from mine because his cries were so quiet I simply couldn't hear him. But now that he's entering the toddler stage look out!
So back to Target. I just needed to grab three things for my activity days craft, but I made the mistake of going down the toy isles to see what they had on clearance since his birthday is next month. BIG. MISTAKE. Or might I say rookie mistake? He was happy as could be as I tested out some of the toys, but as soon as we left the isle he screamed and screamed and screamed for like five minutes I swear. All eyes were on me from whoever was within earshot of him; which seemed like the entire store.
I took Zander to the doctor today for the third time in six weeks. We suspected another ear infection. Sure enough, there it was in both ears. We just took him off his meds from the last one, so this infection is just holding on and won't completely heal. This is his fourth ear infection this year and three of them have been within the last six weeks. He seems to get sick about every other week, and we are so tired of it! My doctor told me if he gets another one, which seems to be very likely since cold and flu season are just beginning, that he'll have to have tubes put in. I'm crossing my fingers it won't come to that, but the infection is why he's been so cranky and sick all the time, so at least I have an answer for his constant screaming, crying, and whining. Poor boy.
