Poor Henry

He had one of his worst breakouts last night.  What changed?  We gave him pear juice as a replacement for apple and grape.  It should be safer.  What I gave him wasn’t watered down as much as we usually do.  Traditionally the purpose of juice for us has been to make water taste better for the kids.  Luckily, he has always liked plain cold water.

The thing is, after deciding it had been the pear juice, with a chance it could have been beef, pork, or some random thing (caught him sucking on a raisin at one point, snagged from where it had fallen from the table to Sadie’s chair), it turned out Sadie had left a cup of strawberry milk on the floor where we wouldn’t see it readily, but Henry might easily have gotten into it.  That’s candle to moth.  I took Valerie’s cup away before he could drink any coffee milk from it, disappointing him at one point.  If he finds them he will drink from them.  It’s time to make the girls drink at the table, period.  They’ve already gotten used to eating only at the table with few exceptions.

None of which explains why during the night I started itching like crazy, and haven’t entirely stopped.  That could mean something that bothers me is bothering him, so is it food we both ate, soap I used, or what?  Or is it coincidence?

On another note, Deb found dairy-free margarine, the trick to which was getting the “light” variety, completely soy based.  It’s not very good, and expressly says not to use it in cooking, but at least it’s something.

1. Yeah, all-soy margarine is teh total yuck.
