First – Sickness update. I took Maxwell to the doctor yesterday morning and his ears look fine…but his throat looks terrible. Poor buddy. No wonder he didn’t want to eat. She did a strep test but that came back negative so it’s likely some sort of unknown virus that we just have to wait out. She did mention the possibility of Hand, Foot & Mouth disease (yuck) but so far there have been no signs of that, thank goodness! I feel like Hand, Foot & Mouth disease is a new common occurrence around the preschool set. I had never even heard of it until last year when a friend’s daughter got it. When she told me, I thought she was making up some funny illness to imply that her daughter kept sticking everything including her hands and her feet in her mouth! Nope…it’s a real sickness and not a fun one I’ve heard. But, Maxwell seemed to be doing better today so hopefully we’re on the up and up. Me on the other hand? no up and up. My cold moved squarely into my head settling right in my sinuses. Breathing has not come easy the past 24 hours. I tried a Neti pot last night but I was literally too stopped up for the Neti pot. what?! I resorted to Afrin. I love Afrin.
Second – Happy 21 months to Maxwell today!! I can’t believe we’re only 3 months away from TWO!! wow. I will try to do a longer update soon about what he’s into these days.
Third – Time to tell you about another adventure with Mrs. Susan! Last week Susan took Maxwell to the Southern Museum of Flight here in Birmingham. They had the best time! It’s such a hidden little gem that is fantastic for kids. They have a whole kid playroom and even a bounce house! Susan said Maxwell loved it all.
Of course Maxwell had on his airplane shirt to go to the airplane museum! 🙂 I love their adventures!
Hope you all have a great week free from sore throats, stopped up sinuses and Hand, Foot & Mouth disease! In fact, I wish the same for us!!

I’m sorry that Maxwell and you are sick. Hope you get better soon. I’m dreading all the things D could and will bring home. Fun places in Birmingham!
