Just about a week after I turned two – and as Mommy was getting ready for her trip to Boston – she found a huge tick inside my left ear!  I was a total trooper about the situation, and was very calm as they removed it at pediatric urgent care.  Mommy blamed my shaggy hair for allowing the tick to crawl in, which means I had to go get a haircut the very next day.  This was my third haircut, but my first without tears!  Here’s the before and after of my new ‘do.  Now I’m telling everyone who’ll listen, “I had a tick in my ear!”
