For the past couple of days, Christian has been pulling on his ears. And I'm not just talking gentle tugs. This is straight up YANKING. Along with stretching his earlobes out, he's literally ripping his earmolds out of his ears. It's getting so incredibly frustrating. And, the pilot caps aren't even helping. He sticks his little paws under the hat to tug. Something really must be bothering him...

This is a totally new behavior that has me freaking out. I just called our pediatrician's office, and we're going in at noon today to get his ears checked for a possible infection. Not that I would wish an ear infection on my kid, but I really hope that is what is causing him to yank on his ears. Sure, we'd have a moment everyday where he would be tired and take his aids for me...usually right before a nap. But this is new. And frustrating.

Keep your fingers crossed for us...
