I suppose an infection in better than a crustacean in the ear. IP has had allergies all summer long and so of course I was expecting an infection of some sort. Luckily this morning Doctor Angel said he just has congestion (not crustacean or infection) in his ear.
IP has had repeated nightmares of a "big, pretty colored, growling lizard" visiting him in bed. It started Saturday night when IP visited Nana. Last night, we armed IP with a flashlight, cardboard tube, and Ritz crackers and placed "guard dog" Tojo's bed outside his bedroom door. I also sprayed vanilla air freshener in IP's room because lizards don't like that smell. The Ritz were left for the lizard in case he was hungry; he didn't eat any last night. IP only woke me up once and he wasn't crying. Success? Maybe taking IP to the Dinoland exhibit this weekend will cure his fear?
UPDATE from Dad: ...at Nana's, he slept in the lower bunk of Jonathan's bunk bed. He was a little hesitant at first, but I told him it was like a cave, and then we had a discussion about what kind of animals live in caves, including - you guessed it - lizards. I was awakened at 4 AM by a shriek of terror and a poor little boy screaming that he didn't want to sleep in the cave any more because of the lizard.
While IP and Dad were in Dallas, I had planned to spend the weekend in Houston to attend my sister-in-law's baby shower. We (Grandma and I) didn't want to get stuck in traffic Monday (the day of the shower)trying to get out of Houston with the Gustav evacuees heading West, so we stayed home and packed up and sorted our closets. Most of the furniture has been moved from the bedrooms to the living room and kitchen in anticipation of more tile on Friday! Monday, I started painting new baseboards in the garage. Josh will begin tearing out the rest of the old baseboards. Fun, fun, fun. I would have had more fun in Houston. :(

What a great idea! I'm going to have to remember that one for the scary monsters we might encounter.
I can add details to this story...at Nana's, he slept in the lower bunk of Jonathan's bunk bed. He was a little hesitant at first, but I told him it was like a cave, and then we had a discussion about what kind of animals live in caves, including - you guessed it - lizards.
