12

Jake is 12.  Say what?!
His birthday did not go exactly as planned.  He could hardly sleep last night because his ears were hurting.  It became a good news/bad news type of day.
 
Good news: He felt good enough this morning to go to school today.
Bad news:  He came home early because his ears were hurting too much.

So on his birthday, we went to the doctor and found out the
Bad news:  he had a DOUBLE ear infection.
Good news: he can now swallow pills instead of drinking the liquid stuff!

Bad news:  So he was pretty sick on his birthday.
Good news:  He got to skip school on his birthday!  AND he didn't have any homework!
Bad news:  He took a nap--so boring on your birthday.
Good news:  He got to skip piano lessons!! (best birthday present ever)

Bad news:  He didn't get the Xbox 360 that he really wanted.
Good news: He got some other cool presents!
And we still got to eat out and he had a yummy dessert.
It was a good reminder to us that it's all in how you look at things.
