the girl who cried wolf

lyncoln is a little sprite. she likes to get her way all the time. and she's good at it... she can turn on the charm or the tears at the drop of a hat. for the past few nights, she has been sleeping with us. because of this, we are more tired than usual.

our girls are oddballs. they like going to the doctor, so, it's no surprise when they tell us that they are sick so that they can go to the doctor. the other night, lyncoln started such shenanigans... at bedtime she told us that she needed a drink and a certain toy and that her ear hurt. she didn't seem uncomfortable, so we figured that she was just being lu. lastnight, the same thing happened... so she came out and cuddled with us a bit. c thought she felt warm, so we let her sleep with us again. this morning, c asked me for my cell phone and she used the flashlight to look in lu's ears. sure enough, gunk.

fast forward to her much anticipated doctor's visit today. double ear infection, with a quite possible rupture. delightful. other than her casually mentioning her ear hurting, she has been acting fine.

 

right now she has had her antibiotics and ear drops and is currently torturing her siblings. all is right in her world.
