Exercise? Calvin got sick for the first time in months and Hurricane Hermine put a major damper on the end of the week, so lots of walking on the treadmill this week.
Looking forward to: My next doctor appointment! It's unfortunately my glucose test, but any opportunity to check up on our little guy is exciting!


Calvin started school this past Tuesday and had the best day! No tears at drop off, and was happy as can be when I picked him up (great reports from his teachers as well!). Sadly, he woke up the very next morning with a fever only to then find out he has strep throat (didn't take long, right?). Not that he would have gone to school Thursday, but schools were then canceled the rest of the week due to Hurricane Hermine. We just got a lot of rain and some gusty winds, nothing major. So hopefully next week will be a better week and Calvin can get back into the school groove!
