At some point last night, some vile insect bit Vincent on his left ear. This morning, Vincent’s ear was red and swollen nearly double in size — and sticking out from his head! Thankfully he’s not in any pain or discomfort, and I checked in with his pediatrician, so you needn’t feel bad for enjoying the picture below. Because this is just too danged weird not to post:
It’s not as red as this morning, but there it is, waving at you like a third hand! Such a calamity absolutely called for the ever-dependable solace of chocolate ice cream. I’m sure you agree.

Oh I’m so glad that doesn’t hurt, because man-oh-man, it sure looks like it would! I’m glad you took that picture, by the way. The third hand is precisely the kind of thing it is a mother’s job to memorialize. xo, L
I’m glad I did, too, Lily! — it’s practically back to normal now. Without that digital evidence, even I would have a hard time believing it was that wildly bulging from his head!
ahhhh…poor babe! bet the chocolate helped though.

You betcha, by gum! 🙂 xo
When I first saw that picture I was like “I never noticed Vincent had one Dumbo ear” and then I read… so weird! Funny but weird!
Did he get a haircut?
Yes! I cut his hair after that heat wave, poor guy was so hot. Plus he loves it when I cut his hair — he’s actually been asking me every night after his bath if I’m going to cut his hair now. Not a bad job I did, eh?
Oh no! Poor little Vincent! But he is SO CUTE. SO CUTE.
Thank you, dear Emma — the Cuteness Factor helps offset the Hell-on-Little-Legs Factor…
That is one of the cutest faces (and ears) I have ever seen. Looks incredibly like my younger son about 14 years ago. Precious time of life.
I do try to keep that in mind at all times — thank you!
