Tuesdays

ARGH-Tuesday!!!!  2014 has been tough on Tuesday.  It seems that most everything has been happening on Tuesdays this year.  Most of the major weather has come in on Tuesdays.  The first snow was fun but each Tuesday lost a little luster with each added bout of ice/snow/sleet mix.  Until late March, Graeme had missed more school on Tuesday than he had gone.  Last Tuesday we had the failed hearing test.  We finally managed to mix it up this Tuesday with some fun mixed in with our crazy.

Our day started with the usual Tuesday morning at speech therapy for Liam.  He loves going to see his speech therapist.  She is great with him and he had a good day.  While waiting, Graeme kept picking out books for me to read to him (and we had a couple other kids come over to listen during the Dora Valentine's Day book).  I love that Graeme is really starting to love books.

After speech, we headed over to a nearby used book store.  While I love finding discounted books, Liam especially loves to run laps around the bookshelves.  Graeme, of course, must chase him down. They actually are very nice about it and the boys enjoy being around the books.

Tuesday was also the annual free cone day at Ben & Jerry's.  I promised the boys a trip for ice cream after the bookstore.  We headed over to grab our free cones, but turned out to be almost an hour early.  Much to the boys chagrin, we went back to the car, grabbed our packed lunch and had to eat lunch before having dessert.  We ate, hung out and ended up being first in line when they opened.

Our last stop of the day was the Ear, Nose, Throat doctor to check on Liam's hearing.  A misunderstanding of timing had us there extremely early.  This place was great and actually got us in early (we actually were completely done before the scheduled appointment time).  They did not do a hearing test on Liam as when they used their equipment his inner ears were filled with fluid.  His eustachian tubes appear to be blocked and cannot drain the fluid.  Our first step is antibiotics to try and clear this up.  We will find out in a couple of Tuesdays!

After this we finally got to do what Graeme had been asking to do after each stop-go home!
