Gizmodo posted about this new product called Uturn.

She makes this device that looks really weird that sits on your stomach. It uses ultrasound and bluetooth to find out when your bladder is full then it lets you know it’s time to go piss.

It’s being branded as an incontinence aid, but wouldn’t something like that be handy to help with potty training? Just slap this sucker on your toddler, and when the bells and whistles start blaring, Junior knows when to pee…

If it was my ear, it might not be so bad. But Evan’s been inflicted by a nasty pair of ear infections. Poor little guy didn’t sleep more than an hour last night (therefore, mom and dad didn’t sleep at all - no sir, no way in hell are we having another one - we had some serious colic flashbacks last night )

We’ve pumped him full of Tylenol to control the fever, and now he’s on yummy banana-flavoured antibiotics to wipe out the little critters filling his eustachian tubes.

One thing that I realized today is just how much I love the health care system in Canada. Janice called the family doctor this morning, asked for an appointment, and we got fit right into their schedule. We had a nice visit with the doctor, without having to pay a cent. Then, we got the prescription filled at the local pharmacy, without having to pay a cent. Sure, we’ve technically already paid for it all thanks to higher taxes, but it’s nice when the system works. Not once did we even have to consider cost today - just on doing the right thing to get The Boy healthy again.

He’s passed out upstairs in his room right now. I hate seeing the little guy suffer - he was so out of it this morning that he didn’t want to have a bath. He normally goes ape shit when he gets a chance to get in the tub. Today, he just wanted to sink into mommy’s or daddy’s arms.
