Bennett is sick again. He's had a low grade fever the past few days. Yesterday after daycare he was incredibly fussy so we took his temp and it was 102.4. He didn't want to eat so we tried to give him a bath. It went horribly and he kept screaming. We discovered he had a sore on his penis so we called the doctor and took him in.
He wasn't too thrilled about visiting the doctor. In the end we found out he has an ear infection and cold, and that the sore on his penis was partially due to his circumcision still healing (which is normal) and someone, probably at daycare, who was trying to clean him too well and pulled some skin away, exposing the raw skin (which we thought was a sore). During his exam he had a lot of earwax build up so the doctor needed to fish it out. Bennett wasn't too happy about it at first, since he had been poked and prodded a lot the whole appointment, but once the doctor started scratching in his ear, he completely relaxed. I remember having this done a lot and loving it, so it was quite amusing to see him enjoying it so much. His eyes would flutter shut and he laid completely relaxed. Definitely my kid!
So he's on antibiotics again and home from daycare today. Joel was gone with him all morning and I'm home with him the rest of the night since Joel has a late meeting. He slept 3 hours this morning and has been clingy all day. After Joel went to work we read a few books until Bennett got tired.
I'm tired too (since I was up with him from 3-4 this morning and got to work at 6:15) so we laid down in bed. He tossed and turned for a while.
Then found the most comfortable position ever... on me... And fell asleep.
