Christmas Nativity!

This was our last week of Tot school before the Christmas break so we finished up our nativity printables and made a couple Christmas crafts (that I cannot share with you right now because they are gifts to the grandparents!)

Matching the letters to spell Jesus!

He was very concerned that there were 2 s's and which one should go where.

He was writing his name

Christmas cookie sheet matching

Time to make a gingerbread house!

That’s pretty much all we got to do this week because a certain little boy got sick!! I mean it was bad! He was in pain, we were sleep deprived… it was NO FUN! Have your kids ever had HFMD? For us it started with a single bump like this. Well let me back up. He woke up in the middle of the night with a fever and saying his legs hurt. When we turned on the lights this is all we saw.

By the following afternoon he still had a fever and his legs turned into this…

And by that night his legs were covered in blistery things and he was in so much pain he wouldn’t walk. It was miserable!

He couldn’t even sleep at night. He just wanted to be held. We didn’t get much sleep those few days! Actually a couple nights we didn’t sleep until 4-6am through 10-11am.

It was around his mouth…

and hands/fingers…

and just within the last couple of days has gotten really bad on his feet. He has big blisters. He is on day 6 now and the rash is going away more on his legs and the feet are at it’s worst right now. It stopped being painful Sunday afternoon (day 4) and he actually was up and dancing!

I hadn’t heard of HMFD until a couple years ago and I hadn’t seen it until now! 2-3 other kids in Jaidan’s sunday school class got it and 3 other little ones had strep! 🙁
