No No No

First the good news. Well I guess this isn't good news but it turns out Isaac has an ear infection in his left ear. Its good news in the sense that we know what it is and we can treat it. The actual good news is the antibiotics have already started to work and Isaac's fever has completely gone down and he is now more back to his old happy self. Also, since we knew amoxicillin didn't work for him before (you may recall amoxiccillin gave him severe diarrhea when he had an ear infection before) we went straight for the other antibiotics (I forgot the name) that worked for him last time and he has had no tummy troubles.

Here is the good/bad news. Isaac finally learned how to do a real signal to us. We have been trying to sign to him but may be we are not doing it consistently enough and he really hasn't tried doing anything. BUT we do say NO to him a lot and I guess we (especially Remy) tend to shake our head when we say NO to him. And guess what? Yes, Isaac's first "sign" to us is No - he is now shaking his head when he doesn't want something. He was shaking his head a lot tonight when he didn't want to go to bed and when he didn't want to drink his milk. BOY are we in trouble. I told Remy she taught him the wrong word! She should have taught him how to nod his head and say yes! I told Isaac that he should say YES to mommy till he is at least 21 years old. How come I already have a sense that he won't listen to me? :-)

Thanks for your prayers. Please do pray that Isaac's ear infection completely clears before we leave for the US in mid August.

Have a great weekend!
