In sickness and in health

Monday, January 24

We went to McDonald's for dinner tonight. Jack really only eats "real" food now, and he really likes the nuggets and fries.

One of Jack's favorite toys from Christmas is his Amazing Animals Zoo that Aunt Diannie gave him. While he'll sometimes play with the animals that came with it, he like to put other things on it and make them go around.

Mara came down with strep throat this week, so we spent a lot of time cuddling while she wasn't feeling well. Jack also discovered that he loves to climb up on top of things—especially his tub of Peek-a-blocks and Roll-Arounds. He kept getting on top of the box while we were watching the OSU basketball game.

Since she was out sick, Mara got a note from the doctor saying that she could return to school tomorrow.

The birds are back around town. They just cover the lines, trees, and even the grounds at the corner near where Jack goes to daycare.

We went to the new Disney Store at North Park Mall tonight, and they had a little Mickey Mouse Clubhouse that Mara kept crawling through.

Jack got a rocking chair from Santa for Christmas, and he loves to sit in it and rock himself.
