Another One From Jake

I have noticed lately that Jacob has had a hard time hearing.  He keep asking what and wanting the tv turned up so he can hear it.  I was starting to get worried.  He was having a hard time listening to what he was told the other day so I asked him if he wanted me to knock the wax out of his ears.  He didn't know what earwax was so I had to explain that to him and how sometimes we have to use Q-tips to clean our ears out because of the earwax.  So the other day on the way home from school I was talking to him and he kept saying "What did you say?", so I told him when we got home I would clean his ears out for him.  After a few minutes he said he wanted me to use those sticks with the pillows on the ends to clean his ears out.  I didn't know what he was talking about until I had him explain to me what he meant.  "The little sticks with the white fluffy stuff on the ends that we have in our bathroom."  So when we got home he laid his head in my lap so I could clean his ears out.  I asked him if he could hear now and he said "That's much better."
