smiley seems to be a bit out of sorts today. he's been a bit whingy & quick to get angry or frustrated or upset. he's been far more cheeky & willful than usual, too.
also, & i'm pretty sure this isn't the reason since he wasn't really himself before this, his lips are sore. you see, today i was cleaning some pen & crayon off his books which he coloured in (he knows he's not allowed to) & he wanted to help, so i gave him his own clean little square cloth of terry nappy fabric which i use to clean up little messes. i was using tea tree oil, but i just wet his cloth with water.
he was wiping lots of things, but mostly his mouth. he's really good at wiping his mouth, actually. so he was wiping & wiping & wiping his mouth & went off elsewhere in the house. he came back still wiping his mouth & i noticed that he had been wiping so much that his lips had not only become a bit sore & red, but were even bleeding lightly in a couple of tiny spots.
i took the cloth off him straight away, of course, but even then he threw a little hissy fit because he wanted to keep wiping his mouth!
so his poor little lips have been sore & red & a tiny pit puffy for most of the day. he won't even let me put papaw ointment on them. when i get it out, he puts his head on my shoulder with his face the other way so i can't get to his lips. i've managed to get some onto his lips by putting it around my nipples just before he has a feed. makes it a bit less sore for him to feed, too.
poor little thing. i hope he feels better tomorrow, his lips & whatever else seems to be worrying him.
