Wow! I'd heard stories, but never before has the devil himself sent flames of torture from my son's mouth every time an Oatio is not placed correctly on his high chair tray.
I know a significant factor in all of this was the extreme illness he's coming off of. An illness that required near constant holding in an effort to comfort. But with the perfect manipulation he is now showing in his attempts to rule our home, I'm starting to wonder if he didn't catch a showing of "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" on cable before we left town and stuck a hot water bottle in his pants before it was time to take his temperature.

Note: I know I used this photo on an earlier post, but that's because I had it sitting around and wanted to post it and was looking for a reason to do so. Who knew that NOW I would have a legitimate reason.

Sorry!!!! But given the opportunity I'd give him just as much attention and smooches. He's just that cute. (Easy for me to say here in Minnesota! That's the joy of being the aunt. All the fun without the backlash.)
I could have written the same post thirty-some years ago (although the internet wasn't invented yet) and if I squint at that photo, I recall that same enraged expression on his dad's face. What goes around, you know. But weren't we worth it??
Funny, that same expression exists on his dad's face now.
And of course you were worth it.
