Poor little hot dog

He just couldn’t handle being in costume last night (and he had a pretty good fever going, so we didn’t want to cook him). But in the interest of record-keeping, we at least laid him on top of his costume and took a picture … and then he went directly to bed.

Eli the almost hot dog

Poor baby. The good news is, though, that he successfully avoided an ear infection and he’s been sleeping most of today, so I hope he’ll be better soon!
