This morning at 7:45 I noticed Quinn walking slowly to the bus stop (too slowly). I decided to meet him at school at 8:00, where he admitted he had "a light head." He had a positive strep test (and bilateral ear infection) at the pediatrician's office at 10:30.
How can I be so super-sensitive to his cues and so off-the-mark with Rachel's?
Maybe it has to do with the fact that my brain has been shrinking since age 35. It must be true. I read it last night in a new book "Where Did I Leave My Glasses? The What, When and Why of Normal Memory Loss" by Martha Weinman Lear. Mrs. Bickerson, you'd better get yourself a copy!

Gary (Mr. Memory Palace) would say it's because you love that kid more. (Does the first born read your blog? If so, you might want to delete this comment.) I think it's just the SLP in you: in tune with all things SLP-related.
I am really sorry about the strep troubles! We must plan our summer get-together soon.
We're similar in our preference for nonfiction lit. I am trying hard to enjoy Ann Patchett's Bel Canto but I read about 2.5 pages per night before dozing off. Give me an unauthorized biography of Tom Cruise and I am up 'till the wee hours.
