My poor little guy. He's had a really bad week, and so far it hasn't ended. Last Tuesday he got a fever that he didn't get over until yesterday, but it went down over the weekend. Sunday, he fell off a high barstool. Yesterday, he fell in the fountain in the backyard, and then he got a poke and a prod in the ER for his rash. Today, he fell off the back of a chair and hit his ear and head on the printer table right next to it on the way down. I'm lucky that dice makes everything better...

Two year olds specialize in trying to kill themselves. They will actually wait until the see that you're busy, THEN they'll try out their newest experiment in gravity/electricity/animals.
I raised two kids, as you know, and both of them tried their very best to remove themselves from the gene pool. As I understand from other parents, this is not unusual.
My brother drank lamp oil when he was 2. He had to go to the hospital to get his stomach pumped.
I'm not sure whether to be relieved that this is normal, or resigned cuz I have another year and more of this to go.

Try four more years. :lulz:
Kids are self-destructive until then. It's Darwin's final test for parents.

This is normal. It never stops btw.
Well, it does when
they have kids...
usually
Damn.
Does anyone think he's okay to go down for a nap? It's his nap time, but he hit his head pretty hard.
ask a doctor, not random people on the internet

How hard?
Check his pupils. See if they are dilated all wonky.
if you shake him really hard, do you hear rattling?

BAD CRAMULUS! NO MUSTACHE!
:lulz:
His eyes look okay, and he was going into "I'm so tired, I'm PISSED!" mode, so I put him down.
keep an eye on him
For some reference points, here's a link to the WebMD info on concussions (http://www.webmd.com/brain/concussion-traumatic-brain-injury-symptoms-causes-treatments). I'm not saying he has a concussion, but this gives a bunch of things to keep an eye on, and the first part of it focuses on kids and what to watch for.
Hope everything gets at least a little better!
Thankies. :)
