It's Been a Rough Week

Warning: Sorry no pictures this week, just a lot of me complaining and worrying!
So, I think it all started last Tuesday when Owen had a minor bout of diarrhea. He had diarrhea for about 5 or 6 hours and then it was gone. Since then, his appetite has been poor and his sweet little personality has disappeared as well. It shines through now and then but he's just not the same. He has also been fighting a stupid cold for a month, I swear. His nose is constantly runny and it may be a little worse this week...he has a cough to go along with it. He had a low grade temp Saturday night but doesn't seem to have a fever otherwise. Sunday is probably when things got a little worse....Tom was watching him while I was at work and I guess at one point Tom wouldn't let him have something and he was inconsolable for like an hour and a half. Tom finally had to take him on a car ride to go look at horses and cows to settle him down. He also only took an hour and a half nap which is a pretty crappy nap for him. Yesterday was the same way. He took a great nap but woke up from it very unhappy and he would cry at the drop of a hat. I put his blankie in the wash and that did not go over well! We were off to a friend's house and he cried until we were about half way there! He also threw a minor fit when it was time to leave because he didn't want to. He became a limp noodle so I set him on the floor while he cried. Today is just another repeat.....He screams in frustration very easily, cries a lot when he doesn't get his way, eats pretty poorly (except last night when he had eggs for dinner), and is doing a little regressing (I have to spoon feed him because he will not do it himself) So yeah...I just don't know what to do! So I don't know if I should blame this cold that he's had for a while or if I should blame it on the fact that he is approaching 2 or both! I have no idea--it is just so out of character for him. It is certainly trying my patience and is really wearing me out! To add to it, Tom was really sick on Thursday so I ended up staying home Friday and Saturday as well to take care of Owen. I'm not sure how much of a 6th sense children have but Tom being sick certainly added to my stress so I'm not sure if Owen is reacting to it? I HAVE NO IDEA. It is just so frustrating and exhausting when you can't find a solution to the problem. I just really hope this is not his new personality or something--it would be a DRASTIC change from the little boy I've known. I'm just hoping it's because he's not feeling well and I really hope his sickness GOES AWAY ALREADY! We even skipped out on ECFE this morning so he wouldn't be exposed to all of those kid germs. I swear that's why his cold has never gone away. OK, I will stop now..hopefully next time I blog life will be back to normal!
