It started at 8.30 pm, an hour after he'd gone to bed for the night. He was tired so had gone to bed a bit earlier than usual. He woke up very agitated, and sure enough he was feverish. As bad as fever is, at least we know what to do about it and we duly gave Logan some Calpol, plus tried to bring it down a little by applying some wet, damp cloths inside his thighs, where the femoral arteries are. He didn't really understand and didn't like it at first, but it did make him feel better. We put him back in bed without his sleeping bag and he then went back to sleep really quickly. I then tucked him inside his sleeping bag again when I went to bed a couple of hours later.
At 3.30 am he started being all agitated again. The fever had come down so no need for Calpol. A drink of juice, a nice cuddle and back in bed. But he didn't really fall asleep again and an hour later we went through the same routine again, this time with the addition of milk and some teething gel, in case that was what was bothering him (and with the fever a few hours before, it sort of made sense). Milk used to work and put him to sleep, it didn't this time and he was awake babbling to himself for a wee while longer. Last time I looked at the alarm clock it was 5.30 and he was still babbling! I think I fell asleep shorlty after that so he must have too.
Weirdest thing was that after being awake for 2 hours in the middle of the night (sounds like he's back to being 4 weeks old again!!), he woke up as normal around 7.45 am!! I would have normally woken him up at 7.30 am but thought I'd leave him be, thinking he would have a long lie! Kinda ruined my schedule but hey, that's what cereal bars are for...
If he could talk, he would have told us what was wrong!
On another note, we had to cut his hair tonight and he can claim to having had his first ever bad haircut from his mum at 11 months old!
Waking up from a nap!
Logan loves the swing
Bad haircut!! Ah well, it'll grow back!
