Hunger strike: Day 2

Not a single morsel of solid food has passed the boy's lips since yesterday afternoon.  He's still drinking milk and apple juice just fine, but when confronted with oatmeal, grapes, cheese or God forbid a cookie, he shakes his head so violently I'm afraid he'll pass out.  I did manage to spoon some vanilla yogurt into his mouth, which he promptly spit all over me.  I tried to trick him by putting some drinkable yogurt into a sippy cup, which he took happily, until he realized that it was *gasp* FOOD!  and refuses to even look at the sippy cup anymore.



I guess he's not eating because he's sick.  He had a case of the squirts so bad yesterday we easily went through 15 diapers and his rear turned into "MONKEY BUTT OF DOOM"  We went through an entire tube of Desitin.  He was also burning up with a fever all night long.  He's still a little runny today, but the fever broke.  He's still not quite himself yet though.  Poor little guy.
