Jack is Broken...

The good news... Jack is not going to be a serial killer because of his recent potty problems. When I told the doctor about peeing into the toy yesterday, the doctor says "four year old boys like to try different things, especially putting their ' weiner' in strange places". How do you ask a doctor to never say 'weiner' again? There are a lot of words I am okay with, 'penis', 'dick', etc., but 'weiner' is a little weird coming from a doctor... Anyway, as far as the poop on the train table goes, the doctor asked me a bunch of questions about how our marriage and family life are and if anything has changed. When I answered all of those questions correctly, he said as long as that is just an isolated incident he is okay with it.

The not so good news...the kid isn't hearing out of his right ear. Perhaps that is why he doesn't listen to me?? They do a little test by shooting sound into his ear and measuring how it bounces back. They tested his ear five times and each time it came back as needing to be referred to a specialist. Since then, Travis has been doing his own testing by whispering sweet nothings about cupcakes and chocolate shakes and Jack hears just fine. So, according to Dr. Travis the test was a false positive. Which, the real doctor says that is a posibility. I guess I will just have to keep you posted!

The other not so good news...Jack has been a little knock kneed since birth, but I have noticed it worsening lately. When the poor kid gets running he will sometimes hit his knees together and actually fall down. Now, some might blame his mother's clumbsy genes, but this one isn't my fault! The doctor kind of brushed me off when I told him about it, but when he saw his knees he said that we need to go to Children's Hospital and see an Orthapedic Doctor.

I had no idea the kid was broken. A little quirky, yes. But needing to see two specialists, no. Poor little buddy!
