Poor guy

Amazingly, my boys rarely get more than a cold.  Today though, it appears CJ may have an ear infection.  I need to take him to the Dr. tomorrow but it is a MAP testing day.  Oh the stress of it all.  This morning I made the mistake of over emphasizing how important it is for him to do is best on the test.  He ended up crying over it.  The stupid MAP test was one of the things I though was so stupid about public schools.  There is just too much emphasis on this test.  How do we stress to do your best and not blow it off and not put too much stress on them.  I haven't helped prep him the way another mom has helped her child.  Maybe I should be doing more.  I know I should be doing more!!!  Oh there is so much I should be doing.  For now, the ears are more important than the test.  I hope he sleeps well.
