You know when your kid has been to the doctor entirely too much when he builds an otoscope out of tinkertoys. This is Caleb's first creation with tinkertoys that is representational, meaning it represents something real. Normally he sticks stuff together randomly, but today he walked up to me with this, stuck it into my ear, looked in the hole on the other end, and declared, "Ear, good." Then he walked around to the other ear, stuck it inside, and said, "Good!" Apparently I don't have an ear infection, which is great news! I'm going to make a doctor out of the little guy yet!
It is great that Caleb is so good-natured about the whole ear ordeal. Sammy is still very traumatized and cries the whole time we are at the doctor's office, while holding his ears. Even getting a haircut is difficult, because he seems to think the hairdresser also has it out for his ears.
