My son's obsession

      Ever since my son recognized I have ears he has insisted on grabbing them.

 He mainly does it when we are laying down together. 

He does it to his mom as well, but more so with me. Must be something about my ears. And he often times needs to touch both at least once before I can put him to bed or get up to leave. He'll touch one and then say, "other ear." Until I let him touch it as well.









He touches his own ears...we used to think it was a sign that he had an ear infection, which they say is common. Now I'm not so sure. Maybe that's how it started out. He certainly had a lot of ear infections when he was younger. He had 4-6 over a six month period depending on whether you count double ear infections as 1 or 2. He almost got tubes put in. Not sure if that would have been a good thing. 

He does this thing where he likes to put his ear under water while bathing as well, who knows if it's related. Does anyone else have weird traits or characteristics their children possess?
