Our regular family doctor is not in on Saturdays, so we called around and found a pediatrician in a town about 20 minutes away with open consultations on Saturday afternoons. Benjamin has to have antibiotic shots for 5 days. So after the doctor's office, we came home to call the house-call nurses who would come and give the shots -- although in our case, Frederic will take Benjamin to their office every evening instead; apparently they are pretty booked up. Then Frederic went out again to the pharmacy to pick up the shots and some baby Tylenol (called Doliprane here and apparently much less concentrated, given the dose he has to take).
We hope the infection will clear up quickly. We are pretty sure he has had it for at least part of this last week or two that he has been sick, so at least now we know why he's been so crabby lately.
Yesterday we put up our Christmas tree. I managed to put all the breakable ornaments high up on the tree before Benjamin could "help" me with them.
We had our first attempt at family Christmas pictures this evening, but they weren't a great success. We'll try again another day. These were the best of the bunch tonight:

He is adorable! Beautiful tree too. So sorry about the ear infection. Not only are those miserbale for the kids, but they tend to steal a lot of sleep from mom and dad. We'll pray he gets better soon!
Sorry about the ear infection--I was glad to read that it was his first one though! Hope he gets better quickly!
I think your pics are great--thanks for sharing!
Alisa - Poor Benjamin! Isn't it nice, though, to know there was a reason he was crabby - it always made me feel better somehow - to know my kid didn't act like that normally! I have to take Jackson to the ENT tomorrow, so we've been feeling your pain with the ear thing! Hope he feels better soon!
How's the ear?
