Story time!
Joseph & Porter love having daddy read them their bed time story ( as do all the kids). The story is always facinating and different when daddy reads to them, even when it is the same old boring book that mommy has read before. I some thimes wonder if Chuck reads any of the words or just goes off of the pictures and makes stuff up. Either way you can tell just from this picture how into the story the boys are.
Round 2 for tubes in the ears!
I took Porter in to see the audiologist back in March and found out that Porter had not been hearing as well as we would have liked, even with the hearing aids. So, we ended up takeing him to see his Ear, Nose & throught doctor.
After visiting the ENT Dr. it was decided that Porter had fluid on both ears and needed tubes again. The doctor said a lot of times when a child needs tubes for a second time they will also take out their adenoids as well. He said he would wait untill Porter was put to sleep to decide if his adenoids needed to be removed. Well, sure enought Porter's adenoids were quite infected and enlarged so the doctor revoved them durring the operation.
Once the effects of the anethesia had compleately worn off Porter acted like himself, maybe a little quieter than normal (which was a nice change)but like himself none the less. He didn't even need anything for the pain.
The next time I took him to see the audiologist everything looked a lot better, but they still did end up having to turn up his right hearing aid. I guess it is just due to the fact that Porter is getting older and they can test his hearing a little more accurately.
Alyson & Charly
Alyson loves to sleep in my bed so she can cuddle with Charly. I think in this picture she had been awake and saw the camera and decided to act like she was still sleeping.
