So in our marathon of doctors appointments this week, Monkey had an appointment with an Ear, Nose, and Throat doc to see what the deal is with his ears. I miss the first part of the appointment, which according to The Hubs was the funniest. With toddlers, they screen hearing using visual reinforcement audiometry. Basically there is a darkened box to the right and left of Monkey that lights up and a stuffed animal inside of it will dance if he looks the same direction that the sound is coming from. Directly in front of him is a clear box with an animal that dances that is used for the audiologist to get his attention. After seeing the dancing animal in front of him, Monkey was bound and determined to watch that box until the animal moved again, no matter what was going on around him :).

(Obviously this studly pair is not my studly pair, I had to google!)

The verdict: Monkey will have tubes put in his ears next week!
