This has been the week of sickness. Josiah stayed home on Monday because he caught Henry's cold and his cough was quite persistent. He had ups and downs all week with how he felt, and his cough lingered, but coughs tend to do that. Meanwhile, the upper school has had a flu pandemic on their hands. Josiah had only five kids show up on Tuesday. By Thursday, there were only two kids left in class. At first, the teachers started recording themselves so the kids at home could keep up. By Friday, however, Josiah said he and his history teacher talked for an hour about food. This particular teacher absolutely loves teaching, so he clearly gave up for the day.
Henry recovered from his cold and went to his first orthodontic appointment this week. He has been asking for braces for well over a year, but I didn't want to start the process in Texas and then have to find a new orthodontist to finish the treatment in SC, so we waited. We met, we discussed the treatment, and we went ahead with the plan. Henry left that first visit with spacers on his molars in anticipation of braces being put on next week. We were told to give him Tylenol when he got home, but Henry felt tough. The next morning, when he thought his teeth were breaking, he took the Tylenol. He is very happy to get the process started because he doesn't want to wear braces in high school. He made it clear that I was to share no before & after pictures, however, here is a collage of my handsome Henry over the years. Another collage of 'random' smiling pictures will be shared in 24 months time.
Henry and I got in a game of Trivial Pursuit. He's moved up to the adult questions, but the game still came down to the wire. I thought I would take him when he didn't know the Queen of Soul, but he beat me...by a hair.
The kids don't like me to take and share as many pictures anymore, but this guy doesn't care and he's still cute as ever.
