A first I didn't want

Well, Alex is on his first-ever course of antibiotics. Poor litle guy got sent home from day care with a fever, and really hasn't been feeling all that great the past few days. Runny nose, slight cough. Mike took him to the pediatrician and it turns out he has signs of infection in his throat.

The good news is, he takes the meds like a champ. My little baby bird. I have friends who tell horror stories of their children kicking and screaming and fighting taking the pink stuff three times a day, but so far Alex has just opened his mouth and chugged it down. In fact, he got mad when it was gone and I refilled the syringe with water to give him the last drops.

We made it 20 months, for which I am grateful. Still, I was hoping to put this day off a little longer. Feel better, baby boy.
