Today was a very busy day, mainly for Kylie and partially due to last night. Tiffany called me this morning to tell me that she is fairly certain that Kylie has an ear infection. Last night Kylie had a very hard time sleeping because every time she laid down she started to cry because her head was hurting. Unfortunately due to a lot of past experience for both Mommy and Daddy, we both recognize this as a tell tale sign of an ear infection. So they were heading off to urgent care to have it verified and get some medicine to help her feel better. Fast forward an hour later and we have a confirmed ear infection and apparently what would have been another case of strep in a few days had she not had the ear infection. They prescribed her some amoxicillin which will treat both the ear infection and the onset of strep, so she should be good in a few days, and hopefully tonight she will sleep a lot better.

After all of that we still had something very exciting to new today; Kylie’s first violin recital! She was the third to perform and she did wonderful! At the time when I was sitting in the audience watching her on stage all by herself playing Twinkle Twinkle as Pepperoni Pizza I was so proud and happy! But as I sat watching the rest of the recital I noticed something, when many of the other kids were up performing their recitals their teachers were with them, but when Kylie was up there she was alone. Afterwords I found out that Kylie’s teacher (Aerial) had asked Kylie if she wanted her to go up and perform with her and Kylie said “No, I want to go by myself” and so she did! When all the students were done performing their recitals we all went to Roma’s to have some pizza and celebrate. Here is a video of Kylie’s performance that Mommy was able to get with her camera.
