Of course he was much older -- all of 7 at the time! Shesh! Hopefully by now the problem has resolved or you've figured out what's going on.Damama Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00433392172815959276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903922807992470992.post-54870782776561452672008-10-10T09:15:00.000-05:002008-10-10T09:15:00.000-05:00A friend of mine convinced her daughter that a mar...A friend of mine convinced her daughter that a mark showed on her forehead whenever she told a lie. That worked surprisingly well.<BR/><BR/>We all have had moments when we thought we were given a line only to be proven wrong later. I sent my son to school with a belly ache, he got off the bus, walked into the classroom, and threw up in the waste basket. Once I was so tired of hearing him whine, I said, if you feel so bad go to bed. An hour or so later, I went to find him, asleep, with a 102 fever!<BR/><BR/>He is twenty now, I guess he has survived my parenting.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01527123571625999061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903922807992470992.post-76426926863390232082008-10-09T15:56:00.000-05:002008-10-09T15:56:00.000-05:00Maybe he has a crush on the nurse?

Cracks me up though. The kid loves bandaids. But I know what you mean. Once he complained of an ear ache. We thought he was being too dramatic and told him to go back to bed. The next day he woke up with blood on his pillow. We felt horrible for blowing him off.<BR/><BR/>I hope you guys get to the bottom of it very, very soon. Hopefully it will be something easily solved.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08527762200993175239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903922807992470992.post-14095019246239228962008-10-09T08:13:00.000-05:002008-10-09T08:13:00.000-05:00Ugh!

Drew has cried wolf..so has my 83 year old mother. It drives me insane. With Drew foot pain ended up being a real thing that kept him out of soccer for a season...we went through 5 months of complaining first.. then his stomach issues ended up being his appendix and we thought it was the flu. <BR/>God could have dropped off instructions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903922807992470992.post-47098274316217678502008-10-08T15:16:00.000-05:002008-10-08T15:16:00.000-05:00Is his teacher able to give you any insight?

Is the nurse super nice and comforting?<BR/><BR/>Boys are so tricky. They are usually so less open and articulate than girls--don't have the need to share each and every thought five different ways.Mrs. G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01171997573144385692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903922807992470992.post-13370082339860228722008-10-08T09:01:00.000-05:002008-10-08T09:01:00.000-05:00Ack, this is a horrible one.

If something is bothering him, all you can do is let him know you are there and he will tell you (or not) when he is ready. Irritatingly, you may never find out what it was.Lothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949068764211292370noreply@blogger.com
