Christmas Memories

Christmas 2008 will always be remembered as the Christmas when Jackson had the bad rash (reaction to his antibiotic for his ear infection). After numerous calls to the doctor and a visit this morning (Christmas Eve), J got a steroid shot and a prescription for more steroids for this weekend, if needed. We are praying that this keeps the rash from getting worse - as the doctor said - our goal is for it to stay the same - not get worse.

When we went to get the prescription filled, Jackson saw the Mickey Mouse balloon and was so excited. I decided he deserved it. You can't really tell from the pictures, but the rash is all over his entire body (fingers, feet, neck, ears, etc.).

Can it get much better than this? Watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse with my Mouse balloon, blanket (bibbet as J calls it), and Mickey Mouse plush toy. Well, I guess it would be better if I didn't have this yucky rash all over my entire body.

Fun memories of coloring and playing with play-doh on my new toddler table while dancing to the music of my gingerbread house.

And, of course, being silly with Mommy's glasses. I love playing with her glasses cases!
