Sick...really

Alexander had a bit of a fever on Friday but quickly went away with some Ibuprofen. Saturday however, he progressively got worse so I called the Dr. He said we were doing everything right but to take him to the Immediate Care if he got worse. We decided after he woke up from a very late nap with a 103 fever that we'd take a trip to see the Dr. Sure enough our otherwise healthy little man had Tonsillitis. He got a prescription for Amoxicillan and children's (not infants) Ibuprofen. Well, despite his sickness, he has been overly wild and maybe a little mean. We're assuming it's the medicine because he's typically a very sweet little boy. Sunday, I decided to do the two projects I needed to get done since Ricardo was home...hang the new baby gate that I stained and take down a shelf with cookbooks and hang 5 new shelves (we're having new counter tops put in this weekend and have to move things around and redecorate). Well, after the gate got hung Alexander quickly realized it would be a great place to practice his Karate. I had to film it because he was kicking that thing with purpose. It was as if it was an attempt at a jail break.
