“I got a rock.”
Last night, Emily was a little sniffly. She had some trouble sleeping last night, and even overslept this morning. Since she normally has to restrain herself from getting us up at 5am, that’s a big deal.
She says she’s too sick to go to school, and that her throat hurts. The thermometer doesn’t detect a fever, but my patented MomHands ™ say she may have a slight one. When told that staying home from school meant she’d have to stay home from occupational therapy, which she loves, she protested at first. When told it was an all or none proposition, she actually said she’d stay home from both, although she was sad about it.
She has a best friend at school named Tania. Best line of the morning: “Tania will miss me at school.”
It was a close call, but she’s staying home. Right now she’s lying on the couch under a blanket watching her current favorite video, It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Thanks for recording this for us, Dad, it’s been a huge hit. It’s nice for her to have something comforting, since I think the photo to the left best illustrates just how Emily’s last couple of days have gone.
Good thing she got that perfect attendance ribbon yesterday at school, because she wouldn’t be getting it if the writing celebration really were next week.
Orders for: CA, CA, and CA.
Hee, Jacob got his attendance award nearly a week late because he was absent the day they gave them out. 😀 The irony was not lost on us. 😀
If she’s choosing to stay home from both, the poor kid doesn’t feel good. Poor baby. 🙁

I so look forward to P saying things like “X will miss me at school.” He is still heavily in echolalic stage unless he’s asking for something.
Hope Miss Emily feels better soon. It’s no fun to be sick.

When Emily was three, she used the phrase, “Want some water?” to mean everything – yes, no, I’m hungry, etc. The first time she said “no” I did a little cheer. It’s a road, but he’ll get there. 🙂

Doubly so, because we often stop by Joseph Beth bookstore after OT and sometimes get a Groovy Girl doll. Missing out on a chance for toys? She must be feeling bad!
And yeah, that’s pretty funny about being absent for perfect attendance. Heh.

I remember a couple of years ago in a yarn shop I had him on my lap while finished shopping and he said “I want down” and I nearly did a little dance right there in the shop. He still isn’t interested in offering up information or answering questions, at least not to us. I think he does more for some of the people he works with.
