We fly home every year for Christmas to visit the parents
and it was awesome taking Claire last December. She had a little reindeer
outfit on that included antlers and played with Grammy’s dogs and was able to
tear up wrapping paper all over the house. Tonight I swear she thought it was
Christmas again. She’s back on ear drops now for her umpteenth ear infection
and we’ve been forcing antibiotic drops down her ear canals while she screams.
Afterward we felt guilty and I let her utterly destroy my Best Buy AD that I
was waiting to read. She has this odd propensity for pulling things around the
back of her head like a cape, to the point where I call her “Supergirl!” Claire
did this with each and every page of the advertisement before we scooted her
off to bed.
