Loves his bow tie!

What's that noise?  This is Tillman's favorite question. He ask it every other minute. I think he just likes asking the question.  However, he did go to the ENT this month to get his ears checked out. One of his tubes had fallen to the ear canal, so that ear is completely healed and functioning properly.  The other ear still has the tube in place, but Dr. White states that it will likely fall to the canal as the other tube did.  The tube wasn't the only thing they pulled from his ear.  Tillman had tons of wax build up. When I saw it come out of the ear, it made me feel like a bad mother. On one side, it was a pea size ball that come out. When thinking about his question, "What's that noise," I wonder if his hearing is just heightened since he got his ears cleaned.

Waiting for the ENT

When he went to the ENT, he spent the afternoon at my office. He was really good.  I think he was excited that I let him play with a stapler and scissors  Who knew that would keep him entertained for 2 hours! Of course I was watching him with those items, I think he enjoyed them so, as they are generally "no no" items.
Tillman even had the chance to go to daddy's work too this month. He was out two days from school this month due to a high fever. We didn't go to the doctor, as he didn't have any other symptoms. He always has fun when he goes with daddy to work, as he gets to ride the tractor, catch up with "the guys," and be his daddy's best bud.  Just this morning, he requested to go to work with daddy. I can see it now when he gets to school age, he will fake being sick just to get to go to work with daddy!

Tillman is still being "recognized" by others when it comes to his agility.  When we went to a birthday party, Tillman was able to climb up the jump castle without assistance. The parent was amazed.  We don't think much of it, but when at parties we can tell he is a little bit ahead. Nick made a good point the other day. Most kids are growing a rapid speeds. Tillman has been the same weight (roughly) for a year and is about to wear the same summer clothes as last year (with a few exceptions).  Tillman has had time to adjust to his size, so he is able to be a little more coordinated. As where other kids are growing a rapid rates, and it is kind of like wearing clown shoes...they just can't get used to their size since they are growing. We think Tillman will be small.  I think we are going to look into him being a Jockey! We live in horse country, so I think that sounds like a plan.

Tillman is also starting to be scared of the dark. This seems to have started over the past month. He has always had a night light in his room.  He doesn't like to go to our den if the lights are not on, and Nick turned out the hall light when Tillman was upstairs, and he started to whine about it being dark.  Too funny. I have no idea what triggered this, but he certainly doesn't like it all of a sudden.

The fireman told him to be a good fireman
he needs to listen to mommy! 

Potty training is...going...I guess.  He will pee in the potty any day, but when it comes to the other, he will NOT! Tillman will beg to go "play outside," "water the plants," anything to go outside to do his business.  He also will only pee at school, so when he gets home, I'm sure he is uncomfortable.  Well yesterday, I let him out the front door to go water some plants, and I'll be darn if he didn't leave a gift for me on the front porch! :-)
