Getting Stronger

This guy is finally feeling like himself again. Just in time, too. Tomorrow is his Homecoming Day!

A First

We had a first today. Today, someone embellished how badly he was feeling in school (to be fair, an adult who should have known better gave him the suggestion) so he could come home, where he promptly felt LOADS better and never had another issue for the rest of the afternoon into the evening. His miraculous recovery is quite the deal, too, because upon pick up the poor thing was crying and moaning about how bad he felt (again at the suggestion of a different adult). Sigh.

Anywho, we've figured out your game, mister, and this kind of con-job isn't going to happen again! LOL

(Seriously. Why does an adult tell a kid, after the kid is clearly not interested in what the adult is trying to teach, "You don't look like you feel good"? The kid was bored! The adult might as well hand the kid a get out of jail free card, because let's face it. What kind of kid is not going to jump at that? And for the second person to chime in when they should have been quiet...it just makes me shake my head. Amateurs.)

He's drawing himself on the stage. Notice the audience watching him! LOL!

Had to laugh when he added "Shawn and Jack" twins!

Can't Live Without

I have an app that sends me a question a day. Today's question was for Jason, but I asked all three of the boys: "What is one thing you couldn't live without?"

Jason's answer:

Family. If you guys were gone, I wouldn't know how to live. 

So I asked him, "Okay, outside of your family, what is something you couldn't live without?"

His answer:

Electronics. Any device because they are amazing. They are entertaining because I can play games and watch YouTube videos. My favorite game right now is every game!

Shawn's answer:

You. I couldn't live without you because I love you! And also just my whole family.

Jack's answer:

I couldn't live without my ticket! (to Disneyland) I also couldn't live without my friends.

Cute Big Boy Saturday

Friday Five

We ended the week on the upswing. Shawn made it through both Thursday and Friday. Jason had a good week. Jack had a performance at school.

To celebrate, we all got to go to Target! Fun!

~~~

It is so nice that Shawn is finally starting to feel better. He's laughing so much more, which is pretty huge. We've missed that laugh.

~~~

Speaking of performances, Jack got to sing on the stage at school! He looked so cute!

Jack's a flower in the garden!

~~~

I do think that Jack enjoys being on the stage and sing more than the average kid. He loves to sing in his microphone and LOVES to have an audience! Maybe we've got a future performer on our hands here?

~~~

The boys have been really interested in Captain Underpants since they saw the movie. I got them some Captain Underpants books, which Jason promptly read. (He now has nearly 90 AR points now!) Even Jack has been reading them! Fun.

Success!

Shawn made it through a day of school today! Isaac did go down to give him some Advil about mid-way through, but he did it, and he did it successfully!

This round of sick really kicked poor Shawn's rear end. So glad he seems to finally be on the mend!
