It’s been a long, long week! Both Tom and I had hectic work schedules — he wrapped up teaching geometry but gave two presentations on Thursday and Friday, and I had a Friday — which left both of us getting an itty bitty amount of sleep. In the meantime, Dylan spiked a fever which kept him out of daycare (and our usual weekly fun stuff) on Monday, Tuesday AND Wednesday!
Luckily, both Tom and I were able to stay at home with him during the worst of it (Tuesday). On Wednesday, he seemed well enough for me to go into the office for a half day, but he still had enough of a fever (101) to keep him out of school.
After lunching together, Tom and Dylan dropped me off at work where Dylan had so much fun typing on the ‘puter, his laptop, and making important phone calls. He clearly enjoys being at my office far more than I do!
Anyway, we vaguely suspect that the fever is related to more teething (2nd year molars), but when I stuck my finger in his pie-hole, I didn’t feel a thing. Still, he’s been jamming his fingers far back into his mouth and abruptly crying out in pain; his appetite is down and, on Tuesday and Wednesday, he awoke at 1am and didn’t get back to sleep for another hour. If new molars are the cause, we sure hope they come in soon…!
