Right before we left for our vacation, Tynan contracted pinkeye. (I like to say, "Thanks, Daycare!" though it could just as easily be toddler hygeine. . . mental shudder.) So Grandma Wendy and Grandpa Eric and Aunt Nikki had the oh-so-enviable task of holding Tynan down to put drops in his eyes about 4 times per day.


On this particular day, Grandma Wendy heard the sounds of Tynan waking up in his portable crib. She walked in and found. . .

Grandma Wendy thought it was because he wasn't getting his eye drops quite as often as the instructions called for (who wants to make a toddler scream 4 times a day?). The doctor, though, warned us that he likes to prescribe the cheap drops first but that they have a high incidence of allergic reaction. Hard to say; Grandma Wendy stepped up Tynan's dosing regiment and the swelling was gone by the time Shawn and I arrived. If is was an allergy, wouldn't it have gotten worse?
Anyway, here is a scary scary photo. . . Something to make me feel guilty forever for going on vacation!
