I picked Elliott up from school and rather than go straight home, we had to run a few errands. Typically, Elliott doesn't do well with these types of unplanned excursions.  That being said, he took this in stride.  I'm really proud of him because he did really good and while there was a few tiny hiccups along the way, he kept himself in control.  I never, ever look for or expect perfection from my any of my kids because they aren't perfect and neither am I. Great job Elliott, you did really awesome today while we had to do our running around. 

I have to give props to Elliott because he did an amazing job in regards to getting ready for school. More often than not, Elliott struggles in the morning. He tends not to cooperate and usually drags his feet.  Like I said, this morning was very different and I'm so proud of him. ☺  Unfortunately, that's where the good news ends because I have a sick kiddo home from school in the form of Mr. Emmett. He woke up with his tummy still upset.  Last night before bed, Lizze and I agreed that if he woke up not feeling well, we weren't going to push him.  I took Elliott to school and Emmett stayed in bed. As the morning goes on though, he does seem to feel a little bit…
