Falling

I spent the day grading papers in a red-pen frenzy, and then posted the results for my students. And started receiving the panicked emails from students afraid to fail. It’s never fun, and never easy.

When you’re so busy trying to climb on and in everything, it’s only to be expected that you’ll fall once or twice. Today, Henri managed to climb on the couch, and was very l’élus of his elf. He then fell and hit his head. It happens daily, so I didn’t think much of it until he threw up. After the second episode, I started to worry about a concussion so my mom came over to check up on him and be there in case I decided to take him in. All was good, but it felt reassuring to not be alone with this.
