Hitting the Jackpot and Learning New Things

In the time since our last post, we hit the jackpot of minor childhood illnesses. For over a week, Will had a stomach virus, respiratory infection, and infections in both ears and both eyes, all simultaneously. Go big or go home, I guess. But, even with a fever up to 103, he was a trooper, and we're very thankful for these kind of minor illnesses in the grand scheme of things.


Today was the first day that Will was back to full speed, basically for the first time this month. It's always so great to see him laughing and playing so hard. Here he is in his new Batman outfit.



Will is learning new things all the time, and I think he's starting to show us some things he's secretly known for a while. On one of our sick days, Gus came home and put down his keys within Will's reach. Will immediately picked them up and walked to the front door.



For a few months, Will has been very interested in his MegaBlocks. But, mostly he just took apart things we built with them. Suddenly though, he's gotten the hang of actually building! Here's his first tower. Auburn University School of Engineering, here we come!
