Sick Babies

Both Lucas and Tyson are sick this week. Lucas had his first cold of the season hit him about three days ago. No fevers, just lots of nose wiping. He was coughing a little during his nap today, but hopefully that was a fluke and he is getting better. We've figured out how to wipe his nose without a fuss - we ask him to blow his nose into the tissue and he thinks it's funny. At first he was blowing with his mouth, but this cold has allowed him to master blowing out of his nose.

Tyson's right eye looked a little cloudy on Monday, so we made an appointment with the eye doctor for Tuesday afternoon. Turns out that he has a mild bacterial infection that should be easy to fix with some antibiotics. Eye issues are common with his breed because their eyes are so big. Half the time Tyson sleeps with his eyes open, which makes it even worse because it dries them out and his tears aren't able to keep his eyes as clean as they should be.

Nothing serious, just a crazy week. I need to catch up. Lucas is 20 months old now!
