End of the Streak

Hello everyone, this is morry.

Lou Gehrig. Cal Ripken, Jr. Noah Belkin.  All of them had amazing consecutive day (game) streaks going.  All of their streaks had to end some time.  For Noah, he went all the way through Kindergarten and nearly 3/4 of the way through first grade before he missed his first day of school.  But today when I checked on him in the morning, he had a low-grade fever.  He really didn't look good.  So we let him stay home from school.

Evan, though, was excited that Noah couldn't come to school.  That meant that I could ride bikes with him to school for the first time since Evan was in first grade.  The two of us rode bikes in the 38 degree weather.  It was pretty cold riding but it was fun.  Evan seemed to really enjoy it.

When I got home from taking Evan to school, Noah was downstairs.  He said his stomach hurt.  Rachel gave him some medicine.  He ended up having a bit of diarrhea.  Once he got it out of his system though, he seemed to really perk up.  In fact, by the afternoon, he was back to his normal self.

I rode a bike to pick Evan up.  I did talk to Ms. Wenske some while I waited for Evan to come out of school.

Rachel tutored in the afternoon.

We had leftovers for dinner.

The boys are about to get ready for bed.  I think Noah will be able to go to school tomorrow.

Until next time...
