Danish had his triple antigen shot last Tuesday. In case you're wondering, triple antigen (DTP) is a 3 in one vaccine against Diptheria, Tetanus and Whooping Cough. The doctor told us that the shot would make him feel uncomfortable for a day or two and usually after the shot, babies might experience fever. That night Hani noticed that Danish's temperature was a bit high so she took a wet towel and put it on the little guy's forehead.

He was sort of enjoying it at first; with his round eyes starring at us with a confused face. 7 minutes later he was starting to feel uncomfortable and started crying. His two, little hands was trying to reach the towel which is out from his reach. Failling to do so, he cried even louder as if he was trying to tell us, "Pleasssse get it off me mum, please get it off me dad... I promise I'll be goodddd..."

We finally took off the towel from his head and his cry chilled down and turned into little sobs which took kinda long to settle down. His eyes were trying to tell us how uncomfortable it felt with a how-could-you-do-this-to-me kinda look on his little face. Poor guy! Half past three and still the little one couldn't sleep. We tried putting him is his favourite cradle and even his bouncer which he always love sleeping on but to no avail, still fails. Hani was tired so I told her to go to bed first while I took Danish to the living room and carried him in my arms till my two legs were tired. I woke up at 5 only to realize that we were both lying on the sofa. I was too exhausted to notice what time and how he slept. Was just glad he did!
