He's got the right to be fussy.




Benji's been a little fussy lately, which is very unusual for him. On the other hand, he just had a molar break through the gums, has another one on the way, may be coming down with a cold (Aaron has been feeling under the weather), and has taken several tumbles in the past few days, both times landing on his face. If all that had happened to me, I'd be more than "a little fussy."

To top it all off, he had a doctor's visit this morning and had three shots, two in one thigh, and one in the other. He was okay until after his nap, but when he woke up, apparently his legs were hurting him a lot. He was really wobbly when he walked, and cried so hard that he soaked Curious George. Aaron gave him tylenol, but Benji just lay in our bed all afternoon and evening like an invalid. We had dinner in our bedroom because we couldn't bear to move him and make his legs hurt more. Needless to say, we gave him everything he wanted and he got to play with everything that's usually off-limits -- for example, Mommy's wallet and credit cards. He eventually had a quick shift into his crib and went to sleep after more tylenol and a warm bottle. -- Victoria

Postscript: He's feeling MUCH better the next morning, walking around and smiling. We're so glad he's not in pain anymore.
