Lousy timing

Today is Halloween, and El Burrito has a costume. He's also going to visit his grandparents for the weekend - Mom's coming tomorrow to pick him up.

So, of course, what happens? He's running a temp today and feeling "meh" in general, judging from his behavior. It may be teething related, since he's got one tooth about to break through and 3 others sitting so close to the surface that you can see them. Hopefully it's not some bug he picked up from his cousins this weekend. I kind of doubt that; for all their excitement when he walked in the door, they didn't play with him that much on Sunday. Of course, the clamoring sort of spooked him when he got down to play, so I had to tell them to back off a little. His two youngest cousins are pretty loud and tend to not recognize personal space, and it overwhelms El Burrito.

Hopefully we'll find a place to do a little treating tonight - the grocery store was advertising a "Halloween Walk" but didn't have any other info - and a dose of acetominophen will get us through that if he's not feeling better by then. But if Grandma has to postpone her weekend, she'll be pretty sad. She's got Friday off and was planning on some fun.
