Hattie is on amoxicillin for her first ear infection, though the doc couldn't actually see in her ears, even after scraping out wax :( All the humans in our house are on amoxicillin, unfortunately.
The one upside is that she has learned the appropriate use of the all done sign through the last 10 days of being ill. She HATES having the mucous washed off her face, nose suctioned, etc. So we have been signing "all done!" every time we finish torturing her, and now she does it too! Although, she signs all done 5 seconds into activities she doesn't want to do now. Again, the struggle with teaching your child to communicate is that I have to deal with her communication. What do I do when she says she's all done being in the car seat as I am buckling her in?!?
So at this point she is consistantly and appropriately using the signs for milk, more, all done, dog, hello/bye, no and flashcards. She sometimes seems to be using eat and mommy as well. I feel like our relationship is a lot more in depth now that she is able to really communicate with me. SO MUCH FUN!
