First Day of Classes!
The first day of school, like any beginning, is exciting! It’s a fresh start with a new classroom, new friends, and sometimes new schools all together. To think about all they will learn, and all the new friends they will make is exciting. Some life long friendships start now. My son is doing his first year of Spanish Immersion and I know I will be blown away one day when he’s speaking Spanish to me some day!

A Monthly Pediatric Video Series Just for You: Cognitive and Mental Health Benefits of Exercise in Kids
Cognitive and Mental Health Benefits of Exercise in Kids

A Monthly Pediatric Video Series Just for You: Swimmer’s Ear
Swimmer’s ear is an infection of the outer ear canal—the passage that runs from the outer ear to the eardrum. It gets its name because water that remains in the ear after swimming can create a moist environment where bacteria thrive. However, swimming isn’t the only cause. Any damage to the ear canal—such as from scratching, using cotton swabs, or inserting earplugs—can also allow bacteria to enter and cause infection. Additionally, while earwax normally protects the ear canal, excessive buildup can trap moisture and bacteria, increasing the risk of swimmer’s ear.
"A Different Kind of Mother's Day Celebration This Year"
I gave Dr. Day a break from her video post series this month because I felt like I wanted to write about my Mother's Day weekend this year and how it was different than what it's been like from the last twenty years. With my daughter's arrival in February 2005 and then her brother's arrival soon after in May 2006, and living half a country away from my own parents, my Mother's Days the last two decades have been about me being the one getting celebrated.

Anybody else’s kids already hopping into freezing cold pools?? It tells me it’s that time of year again! There’s nothing better than hopping into a cool pool in the middle of a blazing Texas summer. It’s great exercise, it’s outdoors, and it’s great for socialization. Swimming has so many physical and social benefits.
A Monthly Pediatric Video Series Just for You.
This month, our YouTube video focuses on how to properly use an inhaler with a spacer to ensure your child gets the most benefit from their medication. While certain inhalers, such as the Respiclick, Redihaler, Diskus, Twisthaler, and Flexhaler, are designed to be used without a spacer, we recommend always using spacers with classic “puff” inhalers, regardless of age. Be sure to check the video caption for helpful tips on correct usage and common mistakes to avoid.
