Steven's last day of preschool

Steven originally was going to start at his new school on Monday, August 22. The principal explained that it was good for the kids to have their "own" first day because the teacher could spend more time with them. Well, his teacher had a different perspective so we decided that we'd compromise and start him on Wednesday. We really wanted him to have his last day at preschool because all of the kids leaving for kindergarten or other places were having one; Steven really liked talking about their last day.

So let's go back to Monday. I got an email from his teacher in the morning that he wasn't feeling well. No fever just really acting funny and saying his tummy hurt. Then he puked. He had a low grade fever so we brought him home and kept him there on Tuesday. However, Tuesday was supposed to be his last day and I really wanted him to see his friends so Tommy made a fruit pizza and we decided he would go to school for lunch and then share the treat. Then he puked, again. I came home to do the afternoon shift and Tommy went to work. Steven took a nap in our bed, I was fearful that he would lose it on our sheets but he didn't. After nap we headed over to school for snack and a few minutes playing with his Christ the King preschool buddies.

They even made him a good luck sign with all of their hand prints inside. It was really cute! I wish he could have had a better last day with his friends. He has grown a lot since starting there and his friends and teachers have been very good to him.
