Ears, School & Soccer

First off, Daniel has been in a lot of pain lately with a very bad ear infection.  We went to the ENT yesterday & he said this fall he'd like to remove the blocked tube, in the right ear, the infected one, and take his Adenoids out.  He will also put in new tubes.  Poor Daniel got my ears, don't drain properly & ear infection after ear infection.  I know his pain well, so it hurts me so badly to put those darn ear drops in his ears.  I remember my mom holding me as I screamed while she put them in.  Ouch Ouch Ouch.  Poor Little Guy.

Now Paidea for Rachael.  She's having some trouble adjusting to going to "real school" everyday.  They also have no 'play time' which she misses from preschool.  Her school is very academic which is good, but is a definite departure from her preschool schedule.  She makes little comments that she doesn't want to go, or that she wants to wear her normal 'cute' clothes instead of a uniform. I'm hoping that she adjusts and realizes it is what it is and that she will be going there for the next 8 years!

Soccer is underway.  Rachael had practice tonight, and it is HOT outside.  It's been really comfortable lately, low 80's, today was much warmer, which the kids were not loving.  Out of the whole team of 7, who was the biggest whiner....my child.  Her first game is Saturday @ 9am.  My team that I am also coaching happens to be playing at the same exact time, so I will have to miss Rachael's game, although we're on the next field, so I can keep an eye on them.  Rachael's Team is called the Blue Sharks, my team is called the Purple People Eaters.  Hopefully it's not too cool Saturday morning or I'm sure she will be complaining about that!
