Last night Boaz woke up numerous times complaining that his ear hurt. We gave him Tylenol and kept a hot compress on the side of his face for a while. He still woke up every half hour whining that it hurt, until about 2am. This morning, I let him sleep in while I sent Nandry off to school. He wasn't feeling too bad when he did wake up, so we did another hot compress and got ready for school. He was there by 9am. Well, throughout the day I kept praying that he would feel better and have a great day. He came home with a ribbon pinned on him and a special prize from his teacher for being "Boy of the Day". How cool! Then, when Nathan sat down with him to do his homework, it went really well for the first time this year. He didn't struggle with concentrating, he just got right to it and finished it quickly and easily. THEN, to top it all off, Boaz finally got the hang of riding a bike by himself. That was the thing he was most proud of today and most excited to show me. We are so proud of him for all his great accomplishments and successes, and so thankful for a great day!

The day that just got better and better

Nathan wants me to clarify that this is the first opportunity for Boaz (and Nandry - she picked it up really quickly) to learn to ride a bike...since we didn't have any in the bush.
good job Bo! Next you will have to try Kayleighs dirtbike!!!
whoohoo!! I hope that great days just keep coming!!!
How come there's not a "Mom of the Day" pin? I want one! :) Just kidding! That's what hugs are for, right?

Sorry not write more, but my English is not good.
A hug from Portugal
