You’re not going to believe this, but the kids are sick AGAIN! Just in time for Christmas, as I had feared. They’ve both got colds and upper-respiratory clogging. Such fun! I can’t believe our bad luck with the holidays this year. Stomach flu on Halloween, pink-eye on Thanksgiving and now colds. I had both Thomas and Hayley at the doctor today, got an antibiotic and cough suppressant, so hopefully they’ll be in better shape by the time Santa slides down the chimney Sunday night.
Thomas’ Christmas show on Tuesday was so much fun! (I’m glad he was able to participate; the show had just ended when I noticed Thomas’ runny nose.) He was very well-behaved, sitting with his class on the mat in the gym until it was their turn to sing. He even wore the little reindeer antlers the kids made with brown construction paper and cut-outs of their handprints! He sang when it was their turn to sing and when it was over, Hayley and I came to sit on the mat with his classmates and ate “reindeer food.” It was so much fun and Thomas was better behaved than Hayley, really. That seems to be a theme lately. I’m sure it has to do with her age, being two-and-a-half. She was much more upset at the doctor today than Thomas was, but he gave Hayley a hug after the doctor was finished looking at her and said, “It’s okay, Hayley.” It was very sweet.
Thomas had mostly good days at school leading up to Winter break. He’s been participating more actively in class, coming up with their “message of the day” and telling his teacher what the weather is like outside. His teacher hasn’t mentioned any problems with the new kids who’ve been in class, so maybe he’s more accustomed to that kind of thing now. One of the teacher’s aides told me yesterday that Thomas likes to play a lot with one of the new girls in his class.
This is going to be shorter tonight, as I still have important business to finish up tonight. I don’t anticipate writing again until after Christmas (the day after Christmas, the kids have a regular check-up appointment with their pediatrician, with shots, so I’m sure I’ll have something to say), so Happy Holidays to everyone!
