Somebody is feeling a little under the weather. Poor little guy has had a rough go of it the last week or so… last week his little buddy in the neighborhood bit him on the face (yes, indeed, the face, and it left two large bruises – top teeth and bottom teeth, which didn’t fade until today), he ran into the dining room table and got a dousey of a bruise on his temple the next day, yesterday he slipped in the sink (I let him stand in the kitchen sink while I wash his hands, I know, bad idea) and hit his cheek on the side of the sink – which left a terrible bruise. So now he looks like I’ve been slapping him around, just in time for his 18 month check-up on Thursday. To add to all of the bumps and bruises, the child has been in some serious pain (or seems to be) with his teeth. He’s drooling all over the place, won’t take his pacifier (which is huge), and is on a hunger strike that will go down in the books. So as you can imagine, he has been an absolute joy to be around, with almost constant whining, with breaks only to drink milk and hold his breath while he’s throwing a fit. And NOW the poor kid seems to have some sort of bug or something because he’s had some seriously sketchy poops today. Enough said? Good. I really didn’t feel like going into details on that subject. And if that weren’t enough, I seem to be coming down with something. Lovely.
Sounds similar to our household these days. Charlie is an accident waiting to happen and has the goose egg’s and bruises to prove it. We are also dealing with the teething, runny nose, hunger strike as well. Too bad we don’t live closer, misery loves company.
So sorry to hear about the bite, how traumatic for both of you!
Morgan goes on hunger strikes, runny nose, cough and generally full of whines when she’s teething, too. She won’t drink a lot, which always makes me worry. Gatorade (with a little bit of water) helped her drink and the kid loved scrambled eggs. She also gets some sketchy butt issues when teething.
Poor Jack!! I wanted to reach through my monitor and hug him when I saw the pic with this post!!
As for the bruises/bumps? That sucks.
Hang in there–it’ll get better!
Geez…PLG Jack to the max…so sorry!! What’s up with the biting of his face? Sub-story to share? Anyway, if it makes you feel any better, Tomma has been a mess with teeth for the past 8 weeks as well. I highly recommend infant Motrin! Hope you guys all feel better…
