Dentist, Doctor and Pink-Eye

Mommy stayed home with me today so she could take me to the doctor. She thought I had an ear infection like I so often do. I had been growing increasingly fussy over the weekend and just didn't feel well. I've been battling a cold for three weeks now. I got it a week before I started daycare and now that both mommy and daddy are back to work and I am in daycare, I just haven't been able to shake it. Since we couldn't get in to see the doctor until after my nap, Mommy decided to see if we could get my dentist check-up out of the way. Kill two birds with one stone so to speak.

My check-up went well. I have a mouth full of teeth. Everything except for all four of my second baby molars. The Dentist said those could come in any time now and could be part of the reason my sinuses are acting up so much at the moment. I did so well at my check-up that he gave me a token I could use to get a prize from the machine on my way out. I chose a "ba" or "ball" as mommy pronounces it.

After my nap we treked over to my pediatrician's office. The coolest part was getting to play dress-up in a toddler-sized hospital gown decorated in tigers. I pranced around the room showing off my new dress. I was very proud of it. The doctor checked my ears and said everything looked good there, but after looking into my eyes he confirmed that I have conjunctivitis or pink-eye. Lovely. No wonder my eyes have been feeling and looking so tired lately. He gave us some eyedrops and sent me home with instructions not to touch my eyes... yeah right, like that is going to not happen (and that's what he said too as he gave us the instructions). Anyway, one drop in each eye, four times a day for five days... Not liking the drops, but they seem to be helping. I can go back to daycare on Wednesday and see all of my new friends.

The list of childhood diseases I am destined to contract just keeps on growing.
