Yesterday afternoon and last night mitchell has been rubbing his eyes alot.
This morning he does not look like our son! His eyes are so puffy and red!!! It has been really hot yesterday/lastnight so I wonder if he was just restless. Has anyone else experienced this? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Yeah we know it is a tired sign - but he was doing it while he was asleep.
We are taking him to the DR to check it out incase its hay fever. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

If he is rubbing them more than usual something must have been irritating them. Hope the doc visit goes ok. -------------  |
