Bug Tastes

Unfortunately, Gavin has been experiencing yet another round of ear infection issues.  This is with his third set of tubes and two sets of antibiotics.  There are times that I think, 'When will this ever end for him?' On top of this, he is battling allergy season, which has already been a doozie, a swollen taste bud and a stiff neck.  He seriously looks like he is going through a war zone sometimes.  Poor guy.

Tonight we tried to lighten the tone of all the sickness and grumpiness and had a little family fun night with Chinese food and games.  We played Willy's Wiggly Web, Lalaloopsy, Red Rover and Fleas on a Dog...yes, that is the name of the game and the point of the game, I could have been a millionaire if I had thought of it. We had a great night of laughs and we all had a good time of silliness.  It truly did our hearts good.

On the way upstairs, we were having so much fun and laughing when Sophia busts out with, "Gavin, show daddy your bug tastes!"
     "What are you talking about?" Todd responds back.
     "Do you want to see Gavin's blue taste bug?" she says seriously, meaning taste bud.
BWAAHHHHHAAAHHH-----Blue Taste Bugs! What in the world?! You can't make this stuff up! What a great night of laughing and silly fun.  I would never have imagined that a swollen taste bud could bring us such joy or rather the kids that are concerned about the swollen "taste bug." Pretty soon, they both will be rolling their eyes at us over this story.  I don't care.  It will be etched in our memories forever.
