Day 153 - I've Got a Fever...A Fever For More Cowbell (or not)

"Not feeling so hot today. This sucks."

Paige had to leave day care a few minutes early today. She developed a fever of 100.7˚. Some baby Tylenol brought it right back down, but she was not a happy camper. Big plus to whoever came up with the idea of putting a baby thermometer in a pacifier by the way. Fever was gone that evening and didn't come back. I hate it when she isn't feeling well, you just wish you could make it better, but some times there is nothing you can do. I guess that is part of being a parent, learning what you can fix, what you can't, when you should and probably most importanlty, when you shouldn't.

Poor thing. Baby Motrin is a very effective fever reducer, but make sure they have something in their stomach or else... well, you can imagine. Ew.
It lasts longer too.
