Ear Ye! Ear Ye!

Well, Noah's fever was due to an ear infection. It's his first one. I'm not really sure how he got it, but the doctor said on a scale of one to ten, it was a two. He's been on antibiotics for three days now and I can tell he already feels better. He does not however like the medicine. I kind of have to hold him down and stick the syringe between his teeth and just squirt it in. He clamps his mouth shut.

Yesterday he got yet another hair cut. He was past due. I was trying to see if it would be curly again if we let it get a little longer. It was just getting a little unruly.

I guess he was feeling miserable yesterday. He kept having fits. At one point I just put him down and let him have his fit. He was screaming and rolling around on the floor and tightening all of his muscles. Eventually, he settled down. I just sat and watched him. I thought about videoing him, but I thought that was a little mean. After we got home from getting his hair cut, he was having a fit. Greg was out of town and wanted me to send him a picture. I thought I'll just take it and he can get the idea. So, I pulled out the camera and said smile. Here's what I got...remember, he was having a fit.

If you look closely at his eyes, you can tell he was crying.

He "had" a sucker while he was getting his hair cut. He wasn't wanting to sit still. I didn't really want him to have it, but I figured he wouldn't really eat it. I was right. Mostly he just played with it. I think he had about three licks. He ended up "having" three suckers because they kept getting hairy, if you can imagine. When he was all done, he rubbed his nose and then had a big wad of hair on the end of it (his fingers were sticky). I wish I would have had the camera. Although the hair probably wouldn't have shown up anyway.
