Sawyer went for his first boat ride this past Saturday with his Aunt JuJu (Johnette). She invited us last week so we thought we would go out for a little while. Jade and I both love the lake so we try to go as much as we can. Sawyer loved it. He sat with his Aunt JuJu the whole time. This is when we discovered that he has hand, foot and mouth disease. It's a common virus that affects mostly children under the age of 10. It starts with a fever and a sore throat, then a rash a few days later and the blisters on his hands, feet and mouth. Poor baby! Johnette notices the blisters on his feet while we were out on the lake. There's nothing you can really do to treat this, just treat the symptoms. He was supposed to start daycare this week, but we've postponed it a little bit until he is better. This virus is highly contagious and I would hate for anyone else to get it. He has been in a great mood this past few days, just waiting for the blisters to scab over so we can be around people again. :)
