I Learned Something

So I learned something tonight...
Lincoln had his 6 month shots today and so he is running a fever tonight. I wanted to keep a close eye on it to make sure it did not get too high. My doctor had said that rectal temperatures are more accurate than armpit temps, so I decided to be go that route. Any normal occasion it would have been fine... what I didn't think about was that Lincoln had gas. So I get the thermometer in and he pushes it out with at little "toot". I thought this was hilarious... and so did he, so he kept pushing out farts and with that, the thermometer kept getting pushed out. Then all of a sudden there is POOP EVERYWHERE. Ew. He pooped all over the thermometer & the changing table. Morale of the story... take an armpit temp if they have gas. :o)
