I wish this were a cute story about Jacob doing his barnyard trash talking, but no. Jacob has the chicken pox. He had the vaccine, but it's not a guarantee against getting it, just that it will be a milder case. So, I get to entertain him at home for the next week and a half while waiting to see if Brandon and I get it (we all got vaccinated the same day and I've never had it). Luckily for now they seem to be mostly on his back and not itching. But no trips to the store, no visits with friends. It will be a race to see which one of goes insane first--him from boredom or me from cleaning up after his boredom.
