Megan just got sent home from daycare because she is sick (vomiting). Apparently our parent-paranoia about daycare germs wasn't unfounded. And to add insult to injury, Mac is being docked a half day of pay.
We had an idea things weren't going so well yesterday when Megan had a "bad day" at daycare. She slept most of the evening yesterday, but the telltale sign was last night - she slept through the night without even a peep for the first time. This morning she lay listlessly in bed with me. We even gave her some baby Advil, hoping that would help, but no dice.
So now we have to look on the bright side: illness in babies is an immune boosting event. Kids who get sick (especially fever) at least twice in their first year of life have a lower incidence of allergies and leukemia. Now isn't that worth a half day's pay?
