The changing weather seems to have caught Baby D by surprise and given him a cold and a very uncomfortable blocked nose.
To start with Baby D was fine, just sleeping a little longer than usual, which in every one's opinion, is not a bad thing given his general aversion to the good ole shut eye. When he woke up and had had his milk, he asked to be picked up and taken on a tour of the house. So Mommy D took him to the breakfast table where all were assembled for tea. Once there, he espied the refrigerator with its fascinating magnets. Baby D frantically began working his arms and legs, his face screwed in concentration. This melted Mommy D's heart and despite nani's concern about the safety of some of her more fragile magnets, she took Baby D to the fridge. Here Baby D made several attempts to tug away from the fridge, a colourful Disney magnet. Figuring that it was made of rubber and as such damage proof, Mommy D pulled it off handed it to him. Baby D immediately lost interest and took swipes at the not so damage proof Madame Tussaud's magnet. Here Nani firmly put her foot down and Mommy D fears very much that Baby D might grow into one of those men for whom the thrill is in the chase! <sigh>
Since that time though, Baby D has been pretty much sleeping and eating only, and not eating as much as he should. As the day wore on he has become progressively more troubled. Really, a blocked nose can be no fun for a little baby. His mommy should know, she still gets very cranky when she has one.
We have been very liberal with his nose drops, so he gets whatever relief he can. As soon as he gets a brief respite, he's ready to play and that pretty much chokes up mommy. Together with his antibiotic eye drops thrice a day for an eye infection and his usual twice daily dose of calcium, Baby D has a lot of medication going on for him.
When on skype with Daddy D, Baby D lost his calm. He tried to grab his daddy's nose and specs and wondered why he couldn't. He managed to start skype recording and then did something that made the video disappear. Disappointed and broken hearted, he burst into tears. Baby D misses his daddy.
This poignant little scene had upset mommy and Baby D surely won't be skyping for a bit.
