Purple Baby Resurfaces

When Brandon was younger and upset, he’d cry and cry until his face turned bright red, then on occasion, purple.  We’d call him “Purple Baby”.  Purple Baby went away for awhile, especially as Brandon learned how to better communicate with us.  Instead of crying, he’d tell us he wanted water, milk, etc.  Tonight, he came back, with a vengenance.  Admitedly, we played some part in it; we decided to have dinner late.  Brandon was a cranky guy, but a little chips and salsa seemed to placate him for the most part.  But then gradually, his patience wore thin.  He started crying and was inconsolable.  He was crying so hard that he was shaking!  Dave even said he saw his eyes roll back, and he was “seizuring”.  While not quite the scene from Exorcist, I didn’t want it to escalate further.  I took him out of the highchair and back out in the front of the restaurant.  Since it was raining, I didn’t want to take him outside, but This http://niksautosalon.com/viagra-3253 order cheap viagra component basically helps to ensure that any developing diseases are curtailed in advance.

  1. You are a great writer. 😉 This reminds me of my parents telling me that when I was a baby, I would hold my breath until I passed out. They freaked out, but the doc said it was natural. Hang in there, you guys are doing a great job as parents.

  2. At least if Brandon passed out, he wouldn’t be screaming his head off and we’d get to finish up dinner and drinks. 😉
