We have had a cold at our house this past week, and we found out at the appointment that he has an ear infection! He has given me no indication that this is the case. It is impossible to tell how sick Jude is because he's one of those kids that just goes, goes, goes no matter what. He's also starting to get pink eye again, which I did know. Soooo, we got an antibiotic that should knock both of those infections out.
The doctor was having this medical student ask Jude questions and give him smarties when he answered correctly. Questions about what colors things are, and "if an elephant is big, then what is a mouse?" This is all fine except that Jude gets pretty introverted when there are strangers around. So, he wasn't really answering very often. So, the med student said, "he's pretty shy, isn't he?" and "I understand, when there are strangers around," etc. But, it just annoyed me because after it was all over, he said, "well, he's probably smarter than what he is showing..." So I said, "yes, he's very smart, he knows his colors, animals, and letters; it's just that is is very shy."
Ugh. I just wish he could have seen how smart Jude really is and didn't have to take my word for it. I don't know if he believed me.
Funny thing, though. I got Jude some Perry the Platypus shoes because they were really the only boy sandals in Jude's size that would work. But, Jude doesn't watch Phineas and Ferb so he just thinks they are duck shoes. The med student asked Jude who was on his shoes and Jude said "duck shoes" but the doc thought he was answering wrong and corrected him. "Is that Perry the Platypus?" Jude just looked at him like...??
Thankfully, there were no shots, so it was one of the less painful appointments. :)
