Jake, is that you?!

Ok, I have to rewind a few days here to let you know what happened. ( DH and I had a little getaway to Monterey! That'll be another post!) Jake started his new meds on Tuesday (last week) I was literally at the end of my rope, willing myself to let go already when the prescription came through! What a lifesaver! Well, first off, it did give him a killer headache. Tucker was oh so quietly doing his homework at the table and Jake kept yelling at him to QUIET DOWN! He insisted that Tucker was being far too loud (what, by breathing?!?!) Well, I asked him, do you think it could be your new meds?! He looked so scared and said...yes! Total puppy dog eyes. I told him to go lay down in his bed and not even turn the lights on. I went in a minute or two later to check on him and bring him a cold compress for his head....he was out! He ended up sleeping for an hour or two and woke up a completely different child! He was sweet, smiling and cooperative. His brothers wanted to paint hot wheels with my nail polish and instead of threatening to kill anyone who so much as looked in the direction of his cars, he simply said, " I think I know where some good ones are." I was shocked to say the least. I kept expecting him to yell, "SUCKERS, I"M GONNA KILL YOU!" That would be more normal than this behavior! What a pleasant change!
