Dawn and I visited Superman Jacob last evening and I’m happy to report that he seems to be recovering nicely from his accident. The biggest problem: He’s a 6-year-old boy, and a rambunctious one at that! He’s supposed to take it easy, rest, keep his arm elevated. But that’s all easier said than done for an active superhero!
Dawn and I drove straight from the office to Rick and Kim’s house, so we picked up pizza on the way since Eric, one of Chris’ friends, was staying over and we knew everyone would be hungry. And we brought pirate and Superman helium balloons along with some things to occupy Jacob during his convalescence - a microscope and a collection of magnets - things he could enjoy while resting on the couch. Yeah, right! Like that’s going to happen! Rick and Kim certainly have their hands full!
After dinner, we caught up with Rick who’s been working out of town so much lately we don’t see enough of him. We visited and chatted over dessert; everyone, that is, except Jacob who was constantly on the move. The evening concluded with a fashion parade of Jacob’s extensive mask collection. Oh, and Superman’s lost his two upper front teeth! Both were loose and ready to come out so the anesthesiologist finished the job at the hospital. The tooth fairy left him $20; times have sure changed since I was a kid! Here are a few snapshots (click on the thumbnails to enlarge) we grabbed with Dawn’s iPhone:
Hey, wait a minute! That last photo isn’t Jacob! It’s… It’s… Grandma Dawn!
