Ryan is sick, again! This time seems a bit different because he is just miserable and his little happy & smiley personality just cant shine through. He spends his time whining and crying, is very clingy, and easily upset. He is running a low-grade fever - his first fever. His sisters usual antics appear to bother him even more. Her loud voice makes him flinch, her fast movements make him jump. Yet, she still can make him smile!
She was playing with him, moving his arms around and singing to him. He was smiling. Next thing I know he is screaming bloody murder. She jumps back and looks guilty. His finger has a bite mark in it. So, Ryan got to experience his first bite on top of his first fever. Lucky guy :)
Brooke is never intentionally aggressive with him, and while she definitely bit him, I think she was just testing to see what happened. I highly doubt she intended to hurt him, and she sure didnt expect the siren that came out of his mouth when she put her experiment into action.
Later we were reading books in Brooke's room before nap. She was wild, flipping around and squirming all over. She wanted to lay down, then sit down, then lay down again. I kept telling her to calm down and just pick one spot to read, and I think the more I corrected her the feistier she became. In midst of her squirming she whacked Ryan in the face with a book. Pretty hard. Que second gurgling scream of the day. This time it took quite a while to settle Ryan back down. I was fuming and Brooke knew she was in trouble.
I'd like to say it was the first time Ryan has gotten smacked in the face, but (sadly) cannot. I'm not sure he has gotten a book in the face yet, but he has been kicked in the face and hit in the face with a toy. The joys of having an older sister I guess ;)
