Happy Easter!

Ezra woke up at 1am on Sunday. And then again at 4:30am...that time I was alert enough to realize he was blazing hot and running a fever. We gave him some ibuprofen, and by morning he seemed fine. I wrote it off as teething. After all, he is two now, doesn't that mean his 2 year molars will pop through at any moment?

We went to church and he happily played in the nursery. Yup, I was that mom who brought a sick child to nursery (though I still claim total innocence!). Ack!

Then we headed to Ryan's Aunt Terri's for brunch...where Ezra just slept in my arms the whole time (totally uncharacteristic of him...especially when there are horses to be petted and Easter eggs to be hunted!)

After he returned home he perked up just long enough for us to re-hide the Easter eggs that he never did end up searching for at Aunt Terri's...


Inside each one were craisins...and he emptied the contents of each and every one before looking for the next egg...




Shortly after our Easter egg hunt, Ezra was back asleep in my arms. On Monday he still had a fever...and his face was bright red. Finally, we were able to go to the doctor and learn that he has strep throat. He's been on antibiotics now for 36 hours...and is perking back up...yay!
