My little fish

Most of you guys know that the kids are quite the little swimmers. Even Ian LOVES...and I mean LOVES to be in the water. He likes to jump off the diving board and have us catch him. Last week we swam 4 out of 7 days. It has been so much fun for all of us. Well....this morning I woke up to find Jonathan on the couch crying that his ear hurt. He has been kind of complaining about it off and on for about a week. Well, I took him to the emergency room and he has swimmers ear. I didn't realize just how much pain it causes. Poor Jonathan has been running a fever and just looks miserable. I have to give Jonathan oral medicine 4 times a day and his ear drops 2 times a day. I have a hard enough time giving Ian his medicine twice a day as it is. So...I made a chart that will hopefully help me keep track of both of there meds.
I took video of them at the pool, but am having some problems with it so here is a pic of the kids playing with a friend, Carson, a couple of days ago. He lives next door to us and they love playing together.

I am so sorry about little Jonathan! I hope he gets feeling better soon.

we too hope that the meds have kicked in and Jonathan is feeling better. It is nice that they have a little friend right next door.Looks like they are having fun painting. You are a busy mom! So glad that you are all enjoying the summer.

Poor guy. We hope he feels better too.

Paint is the best, well, when you are outside and in a swimming suit - that's the best!

Poor Jonathan! My kids have gotten that a couple of times. I have some drops that help prevent it, now and they seem to work well. Call me and I'll tell you how to make them.
