On Thursday Bennett went back to school and I went back to work. Chris started the job of rebuilding the farm buildings out of wood rather than cardboard. I got a call at some point during the day that Bennett was complaining that his ear hurt and that he was out of sorts. He's commented off and on for a few months that his ear hurts . Normally after one complaint he's fine for days/weeks until the next complaint. But on Thursday he complained multiple times. I was able to get an appointment for him. The doctor removed some built up wax and saw that there was fluid in his ear but it wasn't infected yet. He said we would know within the next 24 hours if it were to get infected. Luckily after removing the wax and a dose of Tylenol at home he was fine.
Friday Bennett was back to his old self again!
Saturday we had skating and then had to hurry home for one more Christmas celebration. Uncle Andrew, Aunt Gentry, Grandpa, and his friend Susan were coming over. Grandpa brought a turkey which we served with various leftovers. However, Bennett wasn't eating well and was likely tired from a busy morning so he made the choice to go upstairs for nap rather than finish eating. This meant that we had to open presents without him. Of course he woke up from his nap just as everyone was leaving and then he opened his presents- some puzzles, a hat, and for the family, a toboggan! Can't wait to be able to use that.
Bennett continues to play with his farm (which is good since we put so much time into it and it takes up a lot of space) but some some reason he likes to pile all the animals together so that they can "sleep".
On Sunday we rounded out the year with a final trip to Sturbridge. This brings our count for the year to 40 visits. We'll have to see what we decide to do next year. A winter activity for them is to dip candles, so Bennett go a chance to give it a try. Other than that, it was a pretty quiet day at the Village. We got to see Doc and Blue working (and misbehaving quite a bit) as they pulled a cart from one end of the village to another but otherwise not too much to report.
Monday was a pretty normal day back at school/work and on Tuesday Bennett was picked up early as it was New Year's Eve. Nothing special going on for us. Bennett went to bed as normal and Chris and I stayed up watching Harry Potter.
And that pretty much wraps up 2013!
