My son had tubes put in his ears yesterday, and he's already a changed little man.

Thanks for the kind thoughts! Yeah, after he forgave us, he started to do really well. It would be great if this would help his speech.

A benefit not to be underestimated! ;) Yes, our house is much quieter now.

Thank you! It's amazing how much a cranky toddler can affect the whole household. We're quite happy to have the pleasant little guy back. :)
