the little guy with pinkeye

Finley has pinkeye. What a yucky sickness! On Sunday he woke up with a little bit of redness in his eye. I really didn't think anything of it until later that day. We went to church and he went to the nursery. After the first service though, I went down to look in on him since we were going to be there for all 3 hours of church. His eye looked really red and a little swollen then. I decided to take him out of the nursery and just keep him with me. While we were there for the other services, his eye got progressively worse. On Monday though, it cleared up, didn't look red and wasn't gunky. I canceled the doctor appointment I had made for him. Then came Monday night. His eye got really bad and he had a fever of 103. Poor guy must have felt so bad, but he still played with Matthew and I for an hour dancing, laughing and climbing over us. Tuesday morning I took him in and he was diagnosed with pinkeye. He has to have 1 antibiotic drop put in each eye 4 times a day for a week. This will be a really long week. He hates the drops and tries to knock them out of my hand when he sees them. He's even run from me when he knows it's time. Boy, he's a fast learner.

Speaking of a fast learner. He got a hold of a Q-tip and was trying to put it in his ear. I had no clue he'd know what to do with it. I nudged Matthew to watch and just as I did, he found his ear canal with the Q-tip. He didn't push it in far at all, but you should have seen Matthew and I both jump to get it out of his hand!
