Just being a typical child!!!

I have been pretty horrible at finding time to blog regularly as planned, i see several things that happen in our daily lives and think this would make a great blog but by the time i get around to blogging i have to choose to either sleep or blog and well as much as i enjoy blogging sleep trumps blogging :)

For the last few weeks Autumn has been sticking her fingers in her ears, a lot of kids do this as there way of "ignoring" there parents, but when autumn started doing it my first thought was "here comes another ear infections"

Autumn usually LOVES when her daddy sings to her, actually when she was a baby he had recorded a few songs anytime she would get fussy i would put it on and it had an amazing calming affect on her, he used to sing her to sleep almost every night and she loved it. This weekend they were in the car together and he was singing when he looked back at her she had her fingers in her ear tuning him out, when he told me after i stopped laughing i said "I think she is coming down with an ear infection dont take it personally".

Later that afternoon I was talking to her and she again put her fingers in her ears and walked away, i took it a little personal but thought "she is coming down with an ear infection".

I went ahead and booked her a doctors appointment.

Last night she was having a very "off" night, more tantrums then normal and she was just not her "autumn" self, my mommy instince said "this must be the ear infection bothering her" I suggested that Jarvis take her to the walk in clinic and get her checked so we could start treating it immediatly.

He called a short while later and said "Autumn doesnt have an ear infection". I was shocked how could she not have an ear infection, she has been putting her fingers in her ears for the last few weeks, i am sure something is wrong with her ears, perhaps we should get a second opinion and then it was brought to my attention:

AUTUMN IS BEING A TYPICAL CHILD AND IGNORING US!!!!!!

Although this is a phase that i am not going to enjoy now that i know she is intensionally ignoring mommy and daddy, it is not very often i get to say "she is just a typical 3 year old", this is not something i am going to have to explain to the daycare when i drop her off, and this is not something i will have to explain to other parents or family members. If autumn puts her fingers in her ears she really is ignoring you, she is giving you attitude, she is being 3!!!!!!!
