Cooperative boy

Swe-cha got sent home from daycare yesterday because they got concerned that :
- he felt warm, but he wouldn't let anybody take his temperature.
- he didn't eat lunch
- he wasn't playing (matamlay) & when I picked him up, he was sitting on his sleeping mat and reclining against a wall - it's so unlike him!

The most concerning part is that when I picked him up, there were 2 other kids who were just plain sick. They were bundled up in their blankets and were lying down - the dc had enough sense to separate them from Sean, they were sleeping against other walls but was really just in the same room as the rest. This kinda reaffirms our decision to move Swe-cha to another place.

Thankfully, he didn't have a fever, he was warmer than usual though and was obviously fighting a bug off. He did perk up as soon as he saw me and was bouncing around (literally bouncing off of the sofa onto the floor) as soon sa we got home. He also started asking for food (egg, milk, etc) so this is good.

We were hemming and hawing about keeping him home from daycare again today because we didn't want to have to argue w/ daycare on whether or not he was sick yesterday (24 hr sick-free rule) and I was concerned about the 2 other sick kids in daycare. My thought was that if there was something going around at daycare, I don't want him around all the coughing, sneezing and feverish kids that might be there - and baka mabinat. On the other hand, we didn't want to absent ourselves from work either. My smart boy solved that by plopping down & giving me a really really wet / liquidy poop. And so home it is and again, thankfully, by noon, he pooped again (it's normal for him to do #2 up to thrice) and it was a nice consistency already.

When I called my boss to let him know that I can't make it to work today, he asked if I was having a day off or if I was working from home. I told him, I could probably work at least half the day - when Swe-cha is sleeping - and he says okay, that's good enough and for me to just do whatever I can. He's working from home today himself too.

Ha ? ohhhhkay :)

And my little boy (pwera usog) has been so good all day, not demanding at all and no sickies, he's been eating consistently - meals & snacks and  I was able to do what I was supposed to do for work.

And last but not the least, I did call up his current DC provider and told them that he's done w/ them & won't be coming back next week. We'll come pick up his stuff next time (since we were absent today). They didn't give me a hard time at all - probably because they have a full house anyway. Swe-cha will be going to his new DC on Monday - but this will be another story/post which hopefully, will not be a stressful one.

All in all ? We're having a good day and life is good :)
