Work book fun

Those of you who have met Jack know that he is the type that needs to stay busy. We have puzzles, games, books galore to keep him engaged. He got tons of stuff from Grandvonnie for Christmas that we've been getting into this week. Here he is "decoding" a message. I was really impressed that he followed it as well as he did. He wrote the wrong letter on a couple of spaces and missed the correct letter a few times, but more or less he did great. He enjoyed this game and it let me cook dinner with him right there at the bar. Notice his brother gorging on his meal. I think Theo has 4 stomachs. Seriously.

We also played a bunch with another book Grandvonnie gave Jack today at the ENT. Jack's tonsils are so big that they almost "kiss" and my mom noticed how he snores and has coughing fits at night (she happened to share a room with him while she was visiting last week). I got a quick ENT appointment and the Dr. decided it's best if his tonsils and adenoids come out. There are a few other things going on that make it a good idea. He'll be getting surgery on Tuesday (the 31st), so be sure to say an extra prayer for Jack next week.
