Conner started his "school" or new day care this past week. Everyday he cried when he was dropped off but seemed to be having a blast everyday when it was time to go home. The first day I picked him up he was hugging a little girl when I walked into his room. I asked, "Did you make any new friends today?" and he said, "yes". I asked, "did you make any new girl friends?" and he said, "um hum." He was pretty shy the first day but on day two his teachers told me that he sang a song for the whole class "twinkle, twinkle". He has warmed up more and started participating in the activities. I suspect in the next couple of weeks he won't cry when he is dropped off.
Right now he is with the younger two's (or the ones still working on potty training). In September they are going to move him with the older two's. He is much bigger than all the others - not fat but taller and more heftier. He had problems taking a nap until about the third day, no problems eating lunch - cleaned his plate every time and he even managed to use the potty a couple of times during the week.
I recieved a call on Thursday afternoon that he was running a fever and he needed to be picked up. We went home and started on some tylenol and motrin, then about 5 pm he started throwing up - and this was a first for him. I'm happy to report that Mama was able to control her gag reflex and not hurl at the same time. We went from play room to bathroom in no time flat - got him washed up and headed straight to the doctor. Our normal family doctor was working the after hours clinic that night so Dr. Fisch prescribed rest, fluids and stay on the tylenol and motrin.
I suspect Conner got sick from the other kids at day care or from the pool water at the water park. By Saturday morning Conner was feeling back to his usual self.
