Dylan Update: Dinner Time Blues

I have had a rough couple of days. I'm teething and have a fever. I also have a little diaper rash (let's keep that between you and me). Given all of these factors, I'm a little cranky. Well, according to Mom, I'm very cranky.

She has been pretty tolerant since she knows I don't feel good. I've woken up two days in a row from my nap crying which makes her feel bad. Tylenol brings the fever down a little but I still don't feel the greatest. I've been cranky about all sorts of things like Mommy paying attention to Jonah, eating, what toy do I want to play with (I would look at a toy and then throw it), do I want juice or do I want milk, what story did I want to hear....I just haven't been happy about anything.

Today was Mommy's very first "walk away" moment. I had my biggest temper tantrum ever and refused to eat food or have a bottle. She was getting concerned because I hadn't eaten all day. Mommy finally decided enough was enough and made me some soup. But wouldn't you know, I really didn't want it. She tried all her tricks but I refused and then I started telling the world (literally) about how I didn't want to eat. It turned into the biggest temper tantrum. So what does Mommy decide to do? Take pictures. Lucky me. So now I'm guilty of losing my cool and she's got the proof. She even has witnesses because during my little tirade, she called Grandma and Grandpa for support. Auntie Kelly even has the proof on her answering machine. After an hour of crying, I eventually did eat a little. Then Mommy gave me a bath and grounded me. I was sent straight to bed. She did sneak a little good night kiss in there before I fell asleep but I wasn't to happy about bed either....you get the idea.

Fortunately, tomorrow is another day and Mommy got more tylenol. If things don't get better though, she is calling the doctor again which means we'll make a trip to see him. Hopefully, that won't be necessary.

Here is the proof of my biggest, baddest temper tantrum ever:
