Bye Bye Flu!

Well, Peter is feeling much better! His temperature is back to normal. Here's a funny story. This morning he woke up at 5:30am and he was SCREAMING really loudly. His scream was one of fear, not really whining. Ben got him up and gave him a bottle right away to see if that was the problem. He drank the whole bottle and then continued to scream. We gave him some Pedialyte to see if that would help. (He's had nothing but Pedialyte for 48 hours) After the Pedialyte, more SCREAMING! We changed his diaper and checked his temperature...Normal temp....What could be wrong with this baby, we thought...I held him and rocked him thinking maybe it was just a bad dream that started it all and maybe he just wanted his Mommy. Well Ben, the genius, went and got some cheerios and put them in a dish. Peter's little eyes lit up and was starting to smile and laugh when he saw the cheerios!! He ate one right after another until he realized that he didn't want one at a time, he wanted to hold the dish and take 5 at a time. Here the kid was HUNGRY for real food!! He giggled and giggled and giggled!! Here we forgot that that could be the problem...After a whole bunch of cheerios and a bowl of cereal he was very content. Let's just say we're amateurs, but we're sure glad that our first round of the stomach flu as parents is OVER!! Peace.
