Well we reached our a milestone today: our first get sent home sick day. I got the call from the nurse around noon that he wlhad a fever and was waiting there to come home. So of course I hauled button there (as much as you can in the rain without skidding out) and arrived at the school to find him splayed out on the coat in the nurse's office with ice packs all over him (because he wouldn't drink water). You could tell he was feeling miserable because he was laying still, he didn't jump up to greet me with a happy "Mommy!!" and he wouldn't sing to his songs on the way home. :( It was very sad all around.
So he came home and got some medcine along with some water (because you know I made him) and into his jammies. Then he bundled into his YaYa's bed (my sister) and watched Tarzan until I made him take a nap. And nap he did. Woke up all sweaty on his back and his fever had gone done. I gave him some more medicine to be sure (since he is giong to have to take tomorrow off anyways) and then since then he has acted heaps better. He is walking around talking wanting to play Wii, which I turned down until at least tomorrow LOL (my little gaming nerd). So we went through it well enough. Honestly, I'm surprised it took him a whole semeters before he was sent home sick. He hadn't been around kids constantly until school and yet all last year he was fine. So while I was sad he was sick, I'm happy it took as long as it did for it to happen. Now he's doing okay -- he is haning around his Daddy wanting to play on his phone. And if that doesn't say he's feeling better... well I don't know what would. ^_^
