Tuckered out little E

Little E is still fighting his ear infection/fever. He was up several times overnight last night. But this morning he had a good nap, ate a good lunch and nursed well. I gave him some tylenol and he had only a mild fever and was in good spirits, so I felt fine about leaving him with our babysitter for a couple of hours to have a movie date with Noah this afternoon. I planned on being home before his normal afternoon nap time.

I got a picture/text message from our sitter on the way home with a picture of Elliot asleep in the bouncehouse with the following text: "Haha he was seriously bouncing and laughing minutes before but then he laid on his belly smiling while I was bouncing it and he's passed out! Should I keep him awake till you get home or just let him sleep?"

Of course, I told her to let the poor guy sleep. Obviously, he needed his rest.
His temp was going up this evening before bed and starting to affect his mood. I gave him some Motrin and he's had his 5th dose of antibiotics tonight. Hopefully, he'll rest better and be back to 100% tomorrow.
