Happy 2nd Birthday Jack! Unfortunately sickness plagued our house again this year so we had to postpone/improvise Jack's birthday party. Madelyn came down with strep on Thursday and then Jack had a croup cough on Friday night.
Grandpa Kenny & Grandma Emily came up on Friday to watch Madelyn since she was home sick so we celebrated with them on Saturday and then Papa & Nana came up on Sunday and we all celebrated together. My sister and her family were heading to Mexico later in the week so we didn't want to expose them to all/whatever we had going around our house. Poor Uncle Chris had influenza - tough year for sickness. Luckily Jack is only 2 and doesn't know the difference.....plus this means he gets to keep opening presents :) We had a combined birthday theme of Olaf from Frozen and Elmo!
On Monday, Jack's official birthday, we ended up getting a call from daycare that Jack had a temp of 102.5......so off to the dr we went to celebrate Jack's birthday. Poor little guy! He was diagnosed with RSV and given an inhaler.....which he hates but it has helped his cough. We still went to 5 Guys for hotdogs as that was Jack's request :) By the time we got the prescription and got home it was close to 8:00 so we decided to wait to open presents until Tuesday night.
Nana is a lifesaver! She ended up coming up 3x in one week - 1x to celebrate Jack's birthday and 2x to take care of Jack because he had a temp/was sick. Jack loved his time with Nana in fact if he wasn't diagnosed with an ear infection later in the week I was starting to think he was rigging it just so he could spend time with Nana :)
Jack, it is so hard to believe you are 2 already! You make us laugh and smile every single day! Whether it's by the funny expressions on your face or playing "where's Jack" when you are supposed to be taking a nap. Lately all you want to do is give Madelyn a hug and say hi - which is much appreciated by Madelyn most of the time :) You have had such a big year and learned how to do so many new things - a year ago you couldn't walk and now you are running and climbing all over the place. You love to learn and we can't wait to see all of the things you do this coming year! You are such a sweetheart and we love you so much!
