This week has been spent cleaning up dirty diapers and trying to get liquids into the little sicky kiddo. He's had (explosive) diarrhea for going on 5 day now. No other symptoms - no fever, no vomiting, still pretty happy and active. We haven't actually gone in to see the doctor, but I spoke to them on the phone and was told as long as it stays as it is and we can keep him hydrated not to worry unless it continues for longer than a week. Even though she said a bland diet isn't necessary, I've had him on one since yesterday. But he's not eating much anyway, so I don't think it really matters too much. He really does not like the electrolyte drink - any of the flavors I've tried. I even tried the flavor-less kind and mixed it with some Jell-O mix. Still didn't like it. I am so thankful that I'm still nursing because if not I would really be worried about him.
In non-illness related news, he's still getting better and better at pushing his little truck around although he's taken some pretty rough falls and has the bumps to prove it. He's also practising using a fork and is fairly competent at getting the food into his mouth once it's on the fork; it's getting the food onto the fork that he is still struggling with. The cutest thing he did this week (at least the thing that's coming to mind right now) is after I was done cutting his toenails he took the nail clippers from me and pulled his foot up and tried to cut his own nails.
