Yay! More progress.

I fear Alex will be embarrassed if he ever reads this, but oh well.

He pooped "in" the toilet tonight, after 2 hours of deal-making and cajoling. Hopefully in the very near future the poops will take less time. He wasn't on the toilet for the entire 2 hours, but he started the process at 6:30 and ended at 8:30.

Oh...I don't know if I mentioned this before, but Alex has a hole in his right eardrum. We got an earplug made in February so he doesn't get water in it. We went to a check up appointment last week and the doctor said the hole hasn't gotten smaller so it likely will not close on its own. He does not want to do any type of surgeries until he is out of the ear infection stage...so we're looking at another 3-5 years. Today we went to a doctor to get his hearing tested because the ENT wanted to make sure he hasn't gotten hearing loss because of this. Good News...Alex's hearing is fine. The doctor also commented on how advanced he seemed...with his speech and what-not.

The doctor also told us to be careful not to let water in his ear and to always wear the plug. Patrick always gives Alex a bath and I asked him how the ear plug was working and he said it's falling out, so time to get another ear plug.
