Benjamin is red. There are no two ways about it. He is red. End I don't mean political views. I mean color. More intense and spotty yesterday, more subdued and even color today. All that - compliments of an allergy to an antibiotic Benjamin was taking for his ear infection.
Now, you have to admire Benjamin's sense of timing. For five days he was taking the meds just fine. he waited until mom and dad were about 9 hours into their two-night getaway to the coast. Then he developed the coloration an oophaga pumilio would envy (posting of a picture is currently vetoed by mom and is being negotiated). Naturally, we got back by 10:45 the next morning and took Benjamin to see his doctor. She immediately recognize the allergy for what it was and sent us home with Benadryl.
This morning Benjamin continues to exhibit a red color, though it is not quite as intense. He is still a touvh warm, but slept well and woke and good spirits and is eating well.
In other news... Zev is now up to three consecutive steps. Zev also has the distinction of being the first of the brothers to draw some else's blood. My own, in fact. This morning, while playing with me, Zev decided to give me a hug, which resulted in a full-body headbutt to the lower lip. Said lip was slightly busted, giving Zev the honor of first blood!
