So I'm starting to wonder if Dallin is learning to fake sick already. I got a phone call at work today. It was the daycare. Dallin had been crying all morning. For those of you who have been around Dallin, you know this isn't normal. He didn't want to take his bottle. He was acting like he wasn't feeling well at all. I didn't question it because he had a fever on Monday. I just thought maybe it had come back. When I got to the daycare I could hear Dallin crying. As soon as I got into the infant room and sat down with him on my lap, he stopped crying and acted completely normal. I took him home and took his temperature. Normal. When we got home, he was giggly and silly and played in the front room with me. Not one cry. I think he was faking so he could go home. :) OK, so he has a bit of a runny nose, but the Doctor thinks it's just a small cold. After spending all day with him, I couldn't believe he was acting to ornery at daycare.
Not only was he happy today, he learned a lot of new "tricks" while we spent the afternoon together. He learned to open the china hutch cupboards. (Adding one more danger zone in our house now.) He learned that if he throws the ball at me, I will roll it back to him. (OK, so it's more like throwing the ball towards the ground and it bounces to me, but he had fun playing. We played for almost 20 minutes and he would giggle every time I would catch the ball.) And he took his first steps today. (He walked about 3 steps the first time before he got to me. We practiced a bunch more times too.)
Today was a lot of work for a "sick" kid. :)

Oh, I didn't think that they knew how to do that so early in life. He is so sweet and just wanted to spend a day with his mom.
He is such a faker!!! That's ok though, he just knew you would come rescue him, and then you got to see him take his first steps, so that's exciting. :)
Good thing he was faking, so that you could see him take his first steps! I didn't know they would learn to fake so young!
