Goopy Eye
X has "goopy eye". Don't ask me how he got it. I have no idea. I was planning on trying to take him to church tomorrow. Now I get to stay home and wipe yellow crap out of his eye every 10 minutes because he keeps rubbing them and I don't want the other eye to get infected. I guess goopy eye is better than getting a real cold. I assume he gave it to himself by rubbing his fists all over his face all the time.

i betcha a million bucks it's just a blocked tear duct. parker had that for weeks when he was teeny like X. you just have to massage it with a warm cloth and keep it clean, but it's probably not infected. maybe. :)
google it and see what you think.
My youngest had that. It's probably just his tear ducts aren't quite developed yet. He'll grow out of it in a few weeks.
You are right, better a goopy eye than a full blown cold for such a little guy. I hope it is gone soon. Sick babies are no fun.
Well, I think the clogged tear duct theory was correct. It was SO swollen this morning when he woke up, and all crusted over. I've been wiping it with a warm cloth and massaging the side of his nose/corner of his eye all day. It is getting much better already.
