The Period of Purple Crying.

When you do research on colic you find all sorts of attempts at explanation, from food allergies to mental development.

And then, sometimes, you find theories like this, and you read on excitedly thinking you might find something useful.

All I found out was that someone out there decided to dub the phase "The Period of Purple Crying," rather than "colic," but whatever. Poe-tay-toes, poe-tah-toes.

Adelyn's Purple Crying Fits seem to be (knock on wood) subsiding, at least a little bit. Last night, with the help of Jason's dancing, we kept the crying to a minimum.

Here's hoping the phase of Lavender Laughter or Green Grinning is on the horizon.
