Jbird is doing better.  Wednesday was a tough night.  All day Thursday he laid around, still not wanting to take medicine.  He always had a towel in his mouth because he did not want to swallow.  You know your child is sick when they don't finish a popsicle, go-gurt, milk shake or ice cream.  About the only thing he consistently got down was cottage cheese.  Thursday he slept all night.  Friday woke up not feeling well.  Still laying around.  Late morning the doctor's office called me.  I told them how he was doing and they told me him taking his medication was not an option.  The pain would get worse and he needed to stay hydrated.  She suggested mixing it with kool-aid or chocolate syrup.  He drank the kool-aid and within 30 minutes he was up and riding bikes.  Then he would not take the next dose and be back on the couch.  I think he is finally starting to see how the medicine works and takes the pain away so he can swallow.  This morning they headed out with JR to some type of shooting exhibition.

To give my family peace of mind, I recently took the boys for haircuts. Here is the before picture.

And the after.

One reason I don't like cutting Jbird's hair is that I never like it after a cut. It takes about 2 weeks for me to like it. JR is always griping about how he needs a haircut and every time he gets one, JR does not like it. It is the bangs..it always looks like a page boy haircut. I don't know how to remedy it. I love the rest of it, just not how the bangs or top look. Fortunately I anticipated this and made sure we had a good 4 or 5 weeks before school pictures. The other boys look good. It was funny to see, especially B's, 'tan' line on his forehead from the haircut.

Now, those of you that have been concerned, you may now get some sleep tonight :-)
