Sick little boy

so we let Caleb go to school today, he didnt have a fever or any symptoms of illness this morning and was excited to go because it was kite day, they were going to picnic outside for lunch and fly kites. I was hoping to walk up w/ the two little ones to see and help but bo was too tired for morning nap and I wasnt feeling too great either. So at the end of the school day..I walked to get caleb from school thinking since the school nurse never called that Caleb had been fine all day and wasnt sick. BUT…i get there and the teacher said he laid down outside during the kite activities, ok what kid would do that? But she just assumed he was tired and didnt send him to the nurse or call me. She also said he had been sitting with his head on his desk for awhile and was there waiting for me like that. Poor kid was so mad at me since we walked and not driven to get him, he was miserable and felt fevered and he had to walk home! We got home, checked and sure enough he has a fever. he fell asleep right after getting a drink and just woke up, an hour and a half later. Needless to say I’ve made him a drs appt for tomorrow. His only complaints are a headache and his stomach hurts(but no stomach problems yet like vomitting or diarrhea) Last time he was like this, just headache and stomach cramps he had strep. Guessing that’s what this is again. Friends of ours from church have had strep back and forth between different family members for about two months now I believe. I’m hoping the rest of us stay well, but Bo has had a runny nose for a few days so it might be too late. I hate having sick kids, now I’m trying to figure out how to take 3 kids to the dr w/ me, I think Dean is going to help since he had time scheduled off for his own drs appt tomorrow so he might just take the whole day off.

the only cute thing about this has been, Caleb fell asleep on the sofa and Bo kept going over to him and patting his head and talking to him. Bo looked truly sad that Caleb wasnt playing with him! poor kid. I admit it’s been kind of lazy around here w/ the kids this week and myself because I havent been feeling well. well speaking of kids…gotta run!

UPDATE:  ugh!! last time I changed Bo I got sick of fighting him to stay still so just left his pants off of him.  He had a very runny poopy diaper and was pulling off the diaper and playing with it.   It was all over the carpet.    I just love being a SAHM!!!  😉
