It was the best of times, it was the worst of times

Kira witnessed democracy in action for the first time today, and she loved it [the 'I voted' sticker]. Max got through the night with little incident, but had a pretty rough day.  He had some glimmers of his hyper, outfit changing self, but he mostly moaned and listlessly wandered around the house while mommy followed him around with a myriad of liquids and tried to keep his eyes glue to the television.  

Max insisted on sleeping in 'Uncle's room' aka the pull out sofa in the den.  We woke him up for medicine a few times during the night, but he did not wake up besides that, which was great.  

Max's meal selections consisted of milk, chocolate pudding, applesauce, melted ice pops in a cup, apple juice, Gatorade, and water.  He also managed a Dunkin Donut and several gummy bear vitamins.

Max made a delicious caterpillar cake with grandma.

 

It is tough to keep this kid in bed even if he is exhausted, dehydrated, hungry, and in pain. 

 J-E-L-L-O  B-A-T-H 

A midday bath was just what Max needed.  He felt good and had fun for 30 minutes while also getting the hospital stink washed off.

Kira was thrilled to see Max after school and she thoroughly enjoyed our walk to the primary election polls.  Max was not as excited, but he perked up a bit at the playground on the way home.  

Kira was hysterically laughing the entire time she was in the swing.
