I fully admit to being completely spoiled by Mike's speedy immune system. Generally, if he catches what the kids bring home it goes like this: 8am Mike says "Honey I don't feel good." then he goes to bed all day and around dinner time he emerges announcing, "I feel better.". He's been in rough shape all day. Fevers off and on, sore throat, congestion and stomach ache. This bug seems to hit everyone a little bit differently.
Isaac is better and happily at camp making anemometers out of wood and drinking straws as I type this I'm sure. Riley seems completely recovered, but what do I know? She ate a normal breakfast, got dressed and played happily. Here she is watching Beauty and the Beast in her Cat in the Hat dress with a dinosaur bag full of plastic food.
Even though my week has been de-railed from its original I am determined to get my "classroom" set up for next week. I have pocket charts for daily schedules and a white board set up. I have cleared the dining room table for a work space, but Mike promised me back pack hooks and a small felt board this week and those aren't likely to materialize by next week. Since I don't have the time or expertise for those projects I've been concentrating on Riley's schedule cards. Obviously, her schedule will be much looser than Isaac's and she can't read yet so I'm doing pictures for her. This way everyone has a schedule and we can work on some early literacy skills. After nap she colored, in a tu-tu, with me while I finished them.
Isaac bounded into the car with you guessed it an anemometer (or at least I did because he did the weather course last year). He also got a new Science Center shirt which thrilled him no end, but I would not have paid for it because it is exactly last years' design with blue text instead of black. Riley's definitely fit to return to school tomorrow (yay!). Since it will be Isaac's last day of Science Camp for June it means a few hours without either kid, Yay! If only Mike weren't at death's door. Thank God for these super strong antibiotics.
