sick lil' pooklet

102.6 was his temperature 15 minutes ago.

wifey called me at work to say he has a fever, that he's lethargic and cuddly, and right before she picked me up at work, he vomited while she was feeding him.
in the car, i saw a pooklet i'd never seen before, one who looked sad and worn out, and as we neared home, he couldn't even keep his eyes open.

so i gave him his vitamin drops and bathed him (food crust around the mouth). As we left the tub, he began to cry and i took his temperature, getting the above reading. I gave him about 1.2 ml of tylenol drops, the taste of which he seemed to like, and then gave him a little over 3oz of milk, rocking him. i dressed him, and went to thaw some more (putting his crying self into the crib first), but when i came back to check on him, he was fast asleep.

rest well, prince pooklet.

it should be noted that he hadn't been napping well the past few days (crankypants), and that i myself am in the last stages of a virus that revealed itself 10 days ago.
