In the end, it worked out fine that we had snow showers and freezing temps for five straight days, since poor little Aiden has been in no mood to go out anyhow. Early in the week he developed yet another daycare cold/cough/snotty nose and we pretty much resigned ourselves to the fact that by the time the week was out he' d have another ear infection.
We are at least getting good at recognizing the particular signs that Aiden seems to display once his ears start to hurt: namely, unconsolable crying 
without warning. Both the grandmas (and grandpa Dean) were watching him this particular time, and by the time they screeched into the doctor's office parking lot to meet me, Grandma Chris was covered in baby barf, snot, and the telltale pink stains of cherry infant tylenol. Doctor Nelson declared Aiden the proud recipient of a DOUBLE infection this time, poor little guy. Numbers 4 and 5 in the past 4 months. We're being referred to a specialist now to talk about ear tubes.

After getting Aiden on antibiotics, the rest of Grandma's visit went pretty smoothly... Aiden cheered up and we had a nice Easter dinner with Grandma Chris, Grandma & Grandpa Dean and cousin Allison. The highlights were dark-chocolate dipped oreos and hot cross buns for dessert, and Aiden winning the traditional Kulis egg-cracking competition..
