Day Care Cooties and Real Tears

Ugh! Day Care Cooties have hit the Woods' household!

Rei woke up last weekend with a bit of a stuffy nose. We didn't get to concerned, nothing too major. Well...it's been a week and we still have lots of green stuff flying at a high rate of speed each time he sneezes (which happens to be quite a bit due to his AR!) The poor thing gets up in the middle of the night snorting like an aged pig. It's not pretty.

He has also recently decided that the "big blue sucker thing" comes straight from the devil himself and starts to wiggle and whine when he sees it. I'm proud to say that I have mastered holding his head still while taking care of business though. Really, when you think about it, who in their right mind wouldn't whine and wiggle when they saw a big blue pointed object coming towards them and then feel it being shoved up their nose?!?!?! I think it's only right to whine and wiggle.

Sometimes our endeavours are rewarding, sometimes their not. I called the Dr. and he (ours of course wasn't on call) said that we just have to stick it out and keep on "sucking!" Wonderful. I hope we find the end to this soon.

On another note--my Rei is not really a crier. He whines, he groans, he moans, but he doesn't really cry to often. Last week, one day when he wasn't feeling that great, he was crying and I noticed a tear, a REAL tear. I thought maybe it was a fluke. Especially since I hadn't seen anymore since then.

This morning, when I was getting him dressed, I evidently wasn't working fast enough and he got pretty ticked and was screaming at me. I like to think it was encouragement to get to the bottle faster, but I think he was just really mad. There was another tear. Way to break my heart, little man. I think we've seen our first two REAL tears. I didn't really care for them to much. I hope I don't see anymore anytime soon!
