Jumperoo Redux

This maniacal look says it all...he jumperoo has returned! Thanks to Gramma Lynn and Papa Roger the boys have a new jumperoo to play in. The other one we had was so well used it would no longer inflate and believe me, it was sorely missed. Micah was so happy to open this gift of a new one for his birthday. We did our best to make the actual day  (Friday) a fun one for Micah. He did have a small celebration at school and we ordered pizza that night for dinner, but I'm afraid it was overshadowed by the fact that Jacob caught Hand, Foot & Mouth Disease that day and we have struggled with that all weekend. It's so hard to see him in such pain from the sores in his throat. And of course, we all got very little sleep. But I think he has finally turned the corner.  For the past four days all he has wanted has been "ogre" (yogurt) and "apoo" (applesauce). But this morning he was able to eat banana and drink juice without crying, even after the Tylenol wore off. Getting him back on his sleep routine will be hard, but now that he's feeling better things are looking up.
