Pulling himself up

So the boy was sitting on the bed today and he decided to grab the head board, pull himself up and stand! He was so thrilled with himself. 

Diet

The boy switched to Idli yesterday and back to Oats today. I believe it makes sense to vary his breakfast diet everyday. On days when he eats very little oats, we supplement it with Dosa, Idli or biscuits.

IL's

The IL's are here and the boy is thrilled to see them. 2 more scapegoats to carry me around, he must be thinking :-)

Smoke House Deli

Dinner at Smoke House Deli last night. The boy ate the bread starters and mashed potato. And in the middle of dinner, his facial expression and color changed. Potty! Thankfully the car was parked just outside and we changed his diaper in it.

The boy is very cranky today. He was uncomfortable for most of the day and had a running nose. My parents wanted to see him and I brought them home, but he was reserved. On the way out, he wanted to get into the car with us. He looked so desperate but I had to turn him down as the wife was staying back at home. I dropped my parents, picked my car and got back home. 

Dosa

The boy has switched to dosa for breakfast. It is good bye to oats for now.

Scary moment

B’s son Ah had a fall and hit the back of his head yesterday evening. He wanted to lie down and B was worried because if he becomes unconscious there was no way to know if he was sleeping or unconscious. After lying down for some time, he threw up. That was even more worrying. B and I took him to Dr S who informed us that he has to be taken to emergency if he throws up again. Once we got back home, Ah threw up again and off we went to Manipal Emergency with Aa joining us. B and Aa were tensed and we tried hard to keep Ah awake. We got him admitted to the emergency. Ak also reached meanwhile. After some tense moments, keeping him under observation, medications we were free to go and got home by midnight. No running around and playing for 48 hours. What a relief. 

Lesson learnt – Don’t let the child sleep if he/she has suffers a head injury.
