Marc and Harrison entered school this morning and while they walked into the coat room they were greeted with a “Hello Harrison” by Josh, one of his teachers.

Me: “Today you get to… GO TO SCHOOL!!!! HOORAY!!!” H: “I don’t want to go to school. I want to stay at MY HOME and play.” It has been three weeks + 2 days since the kid has been in school. Three weeks of being sick (for an entire week with stomach flu, fever, sinus [...]
