I had a bit of a rough night last night; I was up between 3 and 4 am. I was in a good mood — I even sang Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star — but I felt a little warm so Mom gave me some Tylenol. I woke up with Julie at around 6:40 and we read lots of books before breakfast. I didn’t eat much oatmeal, but devoured my egg, as usual. I spilled milk all over my pants. I’m blaming my runny nose!
When Nana got here, I was fussy and a bit warm. My runny nose was constant all day. I ate few Os and sipped some water, but wasn’t too happy all morning. I took a mini-nap from 10:15 to 11:00 and felt a bit better when I got up. I had a rough poop, ate a decent lunch, and then napped at 1:15.
When Mom got hom, I had a 102.7 fever. I took motrin, at some yogurt, read some books, pooped, and then just laid on the floor. Mom got worried and took me in to the doctor. I didn’t want to bring my doctor’s kit; instead, I brought my president flash cards and a picture of my cousin Hunter!
When we got in the exam room, I wanted to play with a tongue depressor (which Dad always lets me do), but Mom said we had to ask the doctor. So, I opened the door and yelled down the hall, “Doctor, where are you?!” The doc was really impressed by me! She said I was “so amazingly good” and said that I’m really advanced for my age!
I assumed I had an ear infection, but my ears were perfect. I had a red, swollen throat and didn’t even cry when she stuck a Q-tip in my mouth. The culture was negative for strep throat; I think I just have avirus. We got home and I was in bed by 9:15. I slept on and off all night, but my fever seemed to break around 10:30.
I stayed home from school on Tuesday. Mom was nice enough to stay with me until 9 and Nana was nice enough to come over and take care of me! I got up at 6:40 and took a shower with Mom. I didn’t want to eat an egg for breakfast, but ate yogurt and blueberries.
Nana got here and we read Arabic books and I nibbled on Nana’s cereal. I was really hungry for lunch and ate really well. I napped from 1 to 4:20 (!) and was in a great mood when I got up. Rachel came around 5. I didn’t eat too much but was in a good mood. I had a rough time falling asleep, but finally dozed off by 8:00.
Last year I hung out with Uncle Dee-da!
