Adam set a personal record for crying today. It is unusual for him to cry -- get a little fussy, yes, but actual crying is rare, especialy for extended periods. The crying began around 2:00 pm. Mommy tried everything she could think of, everything her mother could think of, and everything Daddy could think of. Daddy left work to help take care of him at 3:00 pm. Adam would stop only for very short intervals; if he slept he would softly cry in his sleep. It was very hard not to be able to make it all better. Finally around 7:30 pm he showed an interest in one of his toys, and gave the first smile since the onset over five hours earlier. Shortly thereafter he had his first peaceful real nap of the day. He slept for several hours. When he awoke he was much happier. He even took time to study the screensaver on the family computer (which is the computer age equivalent of stopping to smell the roses). It has been a long day with a happy ending.
