Monkey Back

That's right, it's not a monkey on my back, but this Monday morning, I got my Monkey back!! Ben awoke from his nap Friday with a slight fever acting not at all like himself.  My first thought was teeth but he also pulled at his ears a bit throughout the weekend making me wonder if that wasn't the culprit.  At many moments he was completely inconsolable and there were many incidences of him playing happily one minute and overcome with tears the next.  He refused to eat much and at times even refused his milk.  Sleep Friday night and Saturday were troubled at best.  Amidst all this, Grandpa Jim flew in to help with some house projects so silence for naptime was hard to come by.  But this morning after 11 straight hours of sleep, my Monkeypants awoke like himself.  

Well, I started this post this morning and lunch was not normal as Ben again refused to eat but seems exhausted.  We had a nice run in the crisp fall air this morning so that surely made him extra sleepy.  We will see how the afternoon goes and either way I'm glad we're on the path to Monkeypants Smileyface.  I'm off to paint while the painting's good.

Wings in the morning-just like Dad.
