The ear is getting harder. It will now stand for about a week with 4 days of tapeing. I started leaving it on for a week at a time so Im hopeing within the next couple of weeks we will be tape free.samsonsmom\";p=\"76687 said:Looks like you all had a great time at the park..Lol, yea we WERE wearing shorts yesterday, not today!!!
