Spring Break

Last week was my spring break, so I got to be a pretend stay at home mom. It was pretty awesome. What wasn't awesome was that Reed ended up with another double ear infection. But, to focus on the positive, Reed and I went to the zoo and had a really great time. It was Reed's first trip, and I'm pretty sure he was more interested in the other kids we went with than the animals.
More than a couple times, when I have mentioned Reed's chronic ear infections, people have told me that either their kid or a kid they know had success being "cured" of ear infections after seeing a chiropractor. Now, I'm not  one for hippy dippy alternative medicine stuff, but we're meeting with the doctor in 2 weeks to talk about getting tubes in Reed's ears and if I can avoid another surgery, then why not? I had been considering a chiropractor for myself for some time now (my back hasn't been the same since being preggo) and a friend suggested a woman who has a christian family practice and very reasonable prices. So...we went for our evaluations last Saturday. Sure enough, Reed has some misalignment in his neck and I'm just all sorts of messed up I guess. We'll go back this Saturday to have our first alignments. Exciting. I hope we see results quickly! I'll keep you all updated on Reed's progress. Unfortunately, I worry we may have waited too long and that we may just need to move forward with tubes at this point anyway. We shall see...
Oh! And Reed got his first haircut. How could I forget that? He looks even more dapper than he did before. If that's at all possible.

Just fell asleep reading his book. No big deal. 

I can't believe he's almost 16 months and we're getting ready to celebrate his 2nd Easter. They weren't joking when they told us he'll be 18 as soon as we blink our eyes.
