toby of the day, 03.26.2008

I feel that jon and I are getting pretty good at gauging toby’s demeanor and predicting his behavior. For example, last week Toby had a cold. again. This time it was accompanied by a real fever, which we managed with a little children’s tylenol. One night, he was a bit feverish and crying before bed so jon pulled out the sweet sweet acetiminophen elixir. But I warned against it, predicting that it would make toby puke. To which jon countered that throwing up might make toby feel better. So we gave it a try, and it turned out we were both correct. Toby puked, then giggled, clearly much improved. Unfortunately, while we were quite astute at predicting what would happen when we gave him the medicine, neither of us had the foresight to, say, move him off of my lap or off of his bed prior to proving ourselves correct, and consequently his sheets and I were bathed in old, partially digested, milk. but we were right, and isn't that really all that matters.
