Core Value Winner!

At Town Hall this morning Liam won the Core Value of the Month Award for Respect!!!! Way to go Liam! On the back of his certificate it reads:

"Pepperdine has many students who are respectful but I wanted to recognize this student in particular because he is a star model for the core value of respect. He is conscious of his actions and behavior. If someone else is not following directions and even trying to get him to follow along, he quietly ignores the other person and continues on with his work. I appreciate this student because he is trustworthy, responsible, and respectful. These 3 qualities make you, and will continue to make you a great student and person. Thank you for caring about who you are. Congratulations Liam!"

After I arrived home from Town Hall still afloat from my proud mommy high, I immediately get a phone call from the school while still in the garage. Landon is calling home sick. I had him go to school after a somewhat difficult and sleepless night with an earache. Mainly because he wasn't complaining a whole lot this morning and because he missed alot of school this past month with pneumonia. I left again and returned to the school to pick up Landon. We were questioning his illness due to his energy level in the office, but knowing he always gets worse at night, I made an appointment to get him in. Couldn't believe they had an appointment available within 45 minutes!

When I got into the doctor's office, the doctor checked his ears out and, sure enough, he has an ear infection. 10 more days of antibiotics (which he gagged on today and I watched the first dose go down the sink's drain)! I'm shooting for going one month without visiting Kaiser!
