How Connor Got his Yay! Back

As previously noted, poor Connor has been suffering through an ear infection that has dragged on for the past 3 weeks or so. He is such a good-natured little fellow it is all too easy to read when he feels poorly, but also when he starts to mend. There was a brief flowering for instance when we got to Nashville to stay with the boys' cousins, Liam and Finn. They were still at school when we arrived and Jamie and Connor were faced with a room full of toys after spending 3 days in the car. Jamie got down and started rolling cars along the floor, almost meditatively, and with the greatest concentration. Connor, however, just sat on the floor and started saying "Yay!!" over and over again.

We didn't hear too much of it again as the infection returned and has only just now let up again. We knew because again, after a long lay off yesterday was full of big smiles accompanied by lots of "Yay!!!" and clapping. Good to have him back.
