Day care time

Well the kids have been in day care for 3 weeks total, even though they were not really in day care for the 2nd week as they were so sick and we couldn’t take them.  Now the kids are feeling better, but not 100%. But this week brought us a dilemma.

The first week of day care went great; the kids seemed to like it and by kids I mean my son (my little lady cried her eyes out when we dropped her off and when we picked her up).  My son, actually, loved it.  He was excited every day and when we picked him up he would tell us no (he didn’t want to leave) and for us to leave, he wanted to play.  But by Friday he had started to get sick (and he had his first “accident” at day care, he tripped and fell and hit his head) and by Sunday it was full blown sick

So he missed day care almost all the 2nd week, we brought him in on Wednesday only to pick him back up as he started to run a temp again.  So we kept him home the rest of the week. The little lady went on Wednesday and Friday

Which brings us to this Monday…… We asked are son on Sunday if he was excited about going to school, he said no we asked him why , and being 2 he just repeated no.  We dropped it not thinking much of it. And then Monday came we dropped them off and he started to cry.  The kid that would push us to go and leave the 1st week was no crying for us to not let him go.

We of course left him, telling him the usually, go play with your friends and we will see you later, don’t worry you will have fun.  When I went to pick him up, we ran to me excited to see me (which was great) eager to leave and go home.

these actions continued on Tuesday and again today ( Wednesday)  and now I am worried to why all of a sudden does he not want to go,  did something happen that my little man can’t tell me ( that he is unable to express) or is this because he isn’t 100% better.  We asked him every day this week if he was excited to go to day care, and he said no.  We asked him if he had fun and played, he says play yes, and friends yes and then we ask him if he is excited about going tomorrow and he says no.  Very firmly no. We asked him every day this week if he was excited to go to day care, and he said no.  We asked him if he had fun and played, he says play yes, and friends yes and then we ask him if he is excited about going tomorrow and he says no.  Very firmly no.

Yes I am actually worried about this, and I don’t know what to do.  His first week went great and now this.  I don’t understand and I don’t know what to do to help him. I do wonder if this is normal for kids or if something is really wrong.  I am at a loss of what to do.

getting better and a lot to do

It’s Thursday and I am starting to feel better, but as I am feeling better I am noticing that my house is not. All the hard work that I did this past Sunday is nowhere in sight.  Its seems like my clean house up and left, or ran away while I was under the weather.  And I am now trying to find it, by finding it, I mean cleaning my house.  The good news is that a least I won’t have to do a massive cleaning spree this weekend, which means folks….. I get to spend more time with my kids (in hopes they are both feeling better) and if I dare say it….. I may be able to possibly read more than a chapter of my book.

But enough about me, on to my little babies. They had their first week at day care last week and it went good.  up until Sunday night.   As you might have read and if not I will say it again, my babies have been sick, very sick since Sunday.  and Sunday/ Monday around 11 to midnight, we got up and rushed both of them to the er (as the urgent cares in our area were closed down), the ER said both kids had pink eye (well at least little lady did, and for Mr it could have been popped blood vessels, either way they still gave him meds as a precaution) and a cold.  That “cold” raged on so far all week, and we took them to the doctor today, it turns out little lady has an ear infection and MR, well they don’t know what he has, but they do know that he has a virus of some sort, just not sure what it is.  They then sent us on our way and told us good luck with that.  So MR is still really sick with a fever raging around 103 (going up and down) and coughing his head off (up coughing with what seems to be every hour). Right now the babes are sleeping, which allows me time to clean and write this.  But I am still hoping that when we wake up in the morning that the fevers will be gone and my little babes will be back to their bouncing selves.

Ohhhh and some good news,  its raining right now.  Raining in Phoenix!
