Back to School/ Conferences

We have two boys in school today!! Brandon still has a cough, but it is only in the morning and not during the day. Josh has been fever free for three days and his coughing is almost gone. So I cross my fingers and hope this was as bad as it will get. My husband is home with a bug but his fever is gone, he did get the flu.
Had our teacher conferences last night. Can't say I didn't hear anything that surprised me it was just what I expected. Brandon need lots or redirecting. (Hmmm) and that he is focusing less than earlier in the year.. Let's see, he is settle into the routine, more to start looking around, and the holidays are here and I think he will be a bit more distracted until after the holidays... Sorry teacher and his one on one, it is what we deal with every year and every day. Are you finally figuring this out? Do you think I don't know this, have I not mention this many times? The quote "he is easily distracted" We have mention this for years and I was told many kids are at this age... (psst, it isn't improving).

Josh is doing well. His teacher said "Josh, what can I say, he is such a joy in class" with a giggle, "I was just tickled I got him in my class this year... I wanted to have him since he was in Kindergarten" .. It is so nice to hear that the teachers fight over who gets your child. I guess all the 2nd grade teachers wanted Josh. I am glad his teacher really appreciates having him. He is doing well, just needs to slow down and take his time. :)

Flu or Cold?

Joshua has been coughing for a few days now... On Monday there were only 11 out of 25 kids in his class and then yesterday it was only 8. So yesterday I kept him home due to his cough, luckily he had no fever... but this am he rose with 100 temp and is now sitting on the couch watching TV looking miserable.

I just hope it doesn't get worse over time and that this will be the worst it is. It is the chronic cough that is getting frustrating. So the question is does Josh have a could or start of the flu?
