Freaky Friday

This room looks familiar

Well, Friday morning started out great. Paul and I were both off for the holiday and had big plans for lots of yard work. We all loaded up in Grandpa's truck and went to Long Hollow Nursery for some mulch. Luke loves to get out there and run around. Nonna came to keep Luke entertained so Paul and I could work more efficiently. He was in to everything. Playing in the dirt, running around the yard and keeping Nonna on her toes! He took about an hour nap around noon. He was fine when he woke up but shortly after that he got extremely fussy. We had never seen him act like this....he was screaming and was completely inconsolable. We have thought that he was getting his two-year molars for a couple of weeks now. I put some oragel on his teeth and gave him some Motrin. This did not help at all. He screamed and carried on for about 45 minutes at which time we decided maybe he had an ear ache. I made a quick call to the pediatrician's office and they advised us to bring him in.

Within 15 minutes of making the appointment he was fine. He finally ate some lunch and was back to his normal self. We thought that the Motrin had kicked in and that we still should take him to the doctor since we were heading in to the holiday weekend. The doctor thoroughly checked him over and found absolutely nothing! His ears, throat and chest were fine. I asked if it could have possibly been a "tantrum" to which the doctor said they generally do not last that long. She said to watch him close and call if we needed anything. We were a bit confused but finely decided he may have gotten some dirt or mulch in his eye since he was rubbing them so much. We quickly headed home to get our things together for supper at the Troutts.
