Amanda wasn't eating much of anything Friday evening. Like myself, she is sensitive to a lack of protein, so I was continually to try to get her to eat something for dinner to try to help her mood (she was rather fussy). I was not successful, and she went through the evening cranky and without eating much of anything.
That, night, she threw up in her crib. It has been working through her system since and today is beginning to resume her normal appetite.
It struck me how I thought the lack of eating was the cause and not the effect of Amanda's problems. I didn't really give much thought ot the possibility she might be sick. She didn't really have any other symptoms besides being a little fussy, but Amanda sometimes feels that way just on a normal day. It was a good lesson for me as a parent to always try to be observant and not to be so quick to jump to conclusions.
