For the past few weeks, DS seems to not be able to hear what I am saying. Every time I tell him something, he follows it up with "What you say?". Sometimes multiple times in a row. Is this something that just comes with toddler distraction, or do you think I should get the pedi to check his ears?
We're going to a new pedi on Thursday for DD's 4 month checkup, so I could ask then, but I know that some pedis can get annoyed when you ask about another kid when you're only there for one. I'm not sure if I want to make a second appointment if he's just not bothering to actually listen to me, you know?
Re: Ear infection or something else?
Thank you for that laugh!!!! I agree that, to be safe, I'd have him checked out at the pedi and you could always get his hearing tested as well. You'll then at least know exactly what you're dealing with. His ears just could be a little waxy too.
call and see if they can squeeze in your DS right around your DD's appt
Well, I asked him if his ears felt funny and he said yes. Then he told me that his hair and toes felt funny too. So, um, I don't know if the first was true or not.
We played a whispering game and he had no trouble hearing me, so I think he's just distracted/not paying attention most of the time. I might have the pedi check his ears just in case though.
