The boys did awesome this morning. They got ready for school and out the door with very little effort, at least compared to what it’s been like recently. I took them to school and when I dropped them off, I noticed a major change at the door. Every child is scanned for metal objects prior …

Lizze and I were discussing the school issues that have become an unwelcome visitors in our lives.

He’s not complaining of anything but his cheeks are red and he’s well above the school’s 99.5°F, fever policy. I took a screenshot of his temperature records from this morning, and sent it to the school …

I haven’t spoken much about this since I originally shared it but Ohio has a new school attendance policy. It’s aimed at reeling in the chronically truant, but ends up overreaching because it’s a blanket policy, regardless of circumstance. We received a warning letter last week because according to the new policy, Emmett can only …
