Sick Day

Hey, Little Guy, your Mama tells me that you missed school today. She said that you woke up in the middle of the night with a 103 degree fever...your first ever high fever. I am so very sorry that you are sick. Lots of other kids in the ELC have been sick this week, too, with that same pesky fever.

Papa and I babysat for you last night, but we didn't even get to see you. Your Mama said that you were fast asleep by 6 o'clock, and we didn't get there until 6:40. I looked in on you a couple of times...once you lifted your head, but did not really wake up. Your Mama said that you did not take a good nap at school and that you had been cranky and clingy. You must have been getting sick yesterday. I hope you get better very quickly.

On Monday, Papa and I babysat, as well. You were feeling pretty good then. You greeted me at the door of the ELC with a huge grin on your face. I was so glad to see you, too, since I had not seen you in almost a week. You kept trying to open the door for me, but you (thankfully) couldn't do it...as much as you love to be outside, you will become a real escape artist once you learn how that door works!!

We drove back to your house and played for a while before dinner. You were eating when Papa arrived and you had to get out of your chair to help him pack his bicycle in the car...and then you had to show him some interesting things in your yard before you would come back inside. Once inside, you finished dinner, got your PJs on and played with us until your Mama came home...and then, you were very ready to go to bed.

If  DeeDee doesn't get called in to sub tomorrow, I am going to come over and stay with you while your Mama works. Because you still had a fever at 11am today, you can't go back to school  tomorrow. You can't go until your fever has been gone for 24 hours. I do hope that you will be feeling much better tomorrow. It is so sad to see a little guy who is not feeling well.
