Oh, it's been one looong week. My happy-go-lucky, hyper, talkative boy has been gone. He was replaced by a sick little boy who couldn't seem to say anything in a tone that didn't sound like the worst whining you have ever heard. The kind that makes you want to pull your hair out. A boy who needed naps at the weirdest times of day, sometimes till 7pm, completely screwing up any kind of regular bedtime. And one who wouldn't eat anything due to a tummy ache. Oh. What a week.
He got an ear infection. Which lead to antibiotics. This lead to a very upset stomach. And no eating. So out I trotted to the health food store to get him a pro-biotic. Hoping that would cure the tummy aches. After no reprieve after a day or so. Off to the next doctor we went. Now he's onto new antibiotics, and today for the first time. He ate! And he acted like himself. It was such a huge relief.
Being a parent is hard. Especially when your kid is sick. And the whining....OH the whining. You try everything in your power to be sympathetic to that fact that they are feeling rotten, but all you want to do is punish them for being so ridiculous. Finally he is better. And now if he is being ridiculous, at least I know it is just because he's three =).
