Sick boys, or not?
Plus, William completes transitions to
the 4-5 year old class.
Last week, Heather was away from Tuesday through
Thursday, and James started being sent home with diarrhea, so I spent most of
last week caring for the boys at home. The daycare may have suspected James had
some sort of stomach flu, but each time I brought him home, his stools firmed up
quite nicely, only to return to diarrhea when I brought him back to school. He
was out Tuesday, then back at school all day Wednesday, then back briefly
Thursday morning, then out Thursday afternoon... I finally decided just to keep
him with me at work on Friday, feeding him Pedialyte the whole
day.
Over the weekend, not only were
James' stools solid and dry, even to the point of being crumbly, but he also
seemed to have a bit of
constipation.
Further, William had a
sharp fever on Wednesday night, so I kept him home with me Thursday, only
bringing him back and forth to daycare while we dropped off and then picked up
James.
William also completed his
transition to the 4-5 year old class (Dragons) last Friday. Also, his teacher
Deanna had her last day at the daycare that Friday, having gotten a new job much
closer to her home. She drove 80 miles roundtrip daily, so it was a horrible
commute for her. She will be
missed.
Today was William's first
official day as a Dragon. His new teacher, Kenny, is actually a teacher the
daycare has had before and who agreed to take the lead Dragon teacher job until
he (hopefully) gets a grade-school teaching job in the Fall. We've known Kenny
for quite a while, so it's an easy switch for us. He taught in the Cubs (3-year
old class) until just before William moved into that class.
