Ear we go again.....another Childrens Museum!


So we started off the day.....well I started off the day at 5am on my way to work. Got to work, got sent to PICU and then got sent home. Thanks a lot, get my butt out of bed on a Sunday and forget to cancel me. So anyway here I am on my way home and its only 730am. Its a rainy (but warm, 50 degrees woo woo) so I am planning on taking the boys to the Grand Rapids Children's Museum. All is going as planned when Kyan starts complaining about his right ear again. He had been complaining about it for the last few days so I scheduled his well child for Monday and was trying to hold off on taking him in until then. So the complaining got worse and I figured the "attention pain" may just actually be real pain. So now we are off to urgent care. We walk in and the place is somewhat empty but they tell me ALL the rooms are filled in the back so expect to wait. Another family walks in the door with two kids a little boy around 4 and girl around 1.5. We keep hearing a squeaking noise. Something like a really loud annoying dog toy. Ky finally says, "Mom that noise is annoying me" I hush him because I think its the little girls toy and didn't want him to offend anybody. So the squeaks keep happening over and over and over. Now I am annoyed. Turns out, the little girls shoes squeak every time she takes a step!!!!!! OMG who the heck takes there kid to an urgent care where they will be sitting (or if your the little girl, running around) for hours, with those types of shoes!!!!!!?????? I am pretty "squeak squeak" sure that family is lucky "squeak squeak" to be alive by the looks of everybody "squeak squeak" in the waiting room, including the staff!!! I think the mom finally realized her purchase sucked! She now decides to hold her very active child so she begins to scream her head off. OH GAWD!!!!!!!!! So now Ky looks at me and says, "my ear is better, lets go" Over my dead body! We just heard this little girl squeak and scream for an hour! We are staying!!!! The MD sees Ky and asks him how his ear is feeling. Ky replies, "It got better while I was in the waiting room" And it sure did! The doc said his ears looked great. RRRRRR KYAN! This sympathy pain stuff has got to end!!!!
We still end up going to the Children's Museum for Pies sake NOT for the kid who cried wolf! But I do have to say the kids were absolutely wonderful little boys for the 2hr. we were there! The Grand Rapids Childrens Museum from my opinion puts the Ann Arbor one to shame. This place was so much fun. And so like like for the kids. To sum it up, its an adult world on a child's scale. They had so much fun. Everything was so life like, from the grocery store, to the post office and bank, a little ice fishing and tending to the chickens hatching eggs. OK, OK I think I had a blast! We will definitely be going back soon! Thursday nights, only $1.50 admission!!!!!
Hope you did some coupon clippin' kid!!!
