Tell me about it! He cried for at least two hours last night, even though we jumped up and changed his icky diaper right away. This morning he went from happy to inconsolable in mere minutes.
I'm afraid the turning point was when he ate some cat food. I knew it was only a matter of time; he'd been eyeing the cat bowls from his high chair, and today I let him have the run of the house and he was in the kitchen before I knew it. Cat food is perfectly edible and may even be good for him in the tiny amount he ate - high in fat and protein. But my reaction was a little, er, strong. I may have inadvertently frightened him.
Now I'm an even worse mommy. I gave up trying to console him - it wasn't working anyway - and plopped him in the crib. There is no cat food in the crib. But I'm left with my mountain of guilt.
Hoooray! Glad it was short lived. Hang in there. This roller coaster is crazy.
