Well, I think we finally made it through Will’s first virus of the fall season. Since Thursday of last week, he started with vomitting, fever and direhrea and ended with lots more of direhrea. You thought going through diapers was bad enough on a normal day, try changing him every 20-30 minutes. That’s a lot of diapers and one big sore bottom. I learned a few things along the way. I did experiment on Thursday evening of last week with cloth diapers and also letting him run around bare bottomed. All of my experts were telling me to get more air to the bottom and there is not real good way to do that when it’s coming out every 30 minutes or more. I keep telling myself that he will be great by the time he turns 3 years old as he will have experienced a lifetime of viruses, ear infections, streph, and sinus infections by then.
Did I mention he finally stood up on his own for the first time on Sunday. You really couldn’t tell the virus was getting him down on Sunday as he was crawling all over and standing up for the first time. No, the camera was not in reach for those fast 10 seconds or less it lasted, but we will catch the next one hopefully.
On to better things this week…His second swimming lesson on Wednesday, maybe a little dinner out that night too. His first school pictures on Thursday. And Illini Football on Saturday.
