Today was somewhat of a big day. First, Jude had his neuropsychological evaluation this morning. The Ph.D. (who is the same guy who tested him a year ago) said that Jude did not perform nearly as well as last year. Jude kept complaining of fatigue. In the memory section, Jude would always answer that he remembered nothing. …

School’s in Session
Tomorrow Jude officially starts kindergarten. This would normally be a big day for the parents and kindergartener, but it won’t be for us. We won’t be sending Jude to a brick and mortar school, although I know he’d love it. Instead, we’ll be schooling him at home, as we’ve always done.  Jude’s been doing kindergarten activities …

Suspected Whooping Cough and an Eye Infection to Boot
Jude was feeling better yesterday so I let the boys go outside to play in the sandbox in the backyard. It wasn’t long before Jude managed to get a bunch of sand in his eyes. His eyes were almost swollen shut this morning. The poor kid can’t catch a break. But, I do have my …

Whopping Cough?
It was such a rough night last night so I decided Jude had to get to the doctor today.  Andy wasn’t going to take him while I was at work since his strategy that keeps him sane (but the boys cooped up) is to never leave the house outnumbered by little boys.  I’m so glad I brought …
Cute or What?

Sleepless Night
Jude is sick. It’s very strange because the entire time we were in Indiana, we were amazed that the boys went 7 weeks without any illness. But, after arriving home, Jude was coughing like crazy within 10 hours or so and threw up on 2 different beds and in 2 different buckets.  I got tired of …
