Shaun was home from school sick yesterday and we are not sure if it is just a cold or the flu. He had a fever was tired and he didn’t have much of an appetite. Melinda said he was a little whiny first thing in the morning but as the morning went on that went away.
I got home from work around noon and Shaun was in my bed watching cartoons and just relaxing. I asked him how he was feeling and he said fine. In talking with Melinda she said for breakfast Shaun only ate two pieces of plain toast because he was feeling nauseous. On the way home from work I picked up Chick Fil A nuggets for Shae because she called me and asked me to pick them up for her. How could I deny my sweet baby Chick Fil A nuggets. I know what you are thinking, Shae is 2 years old how did she call me. Melinda called and Shae did the rest. LOL.
Melinda and Shae left to go to Delaware to see our newly born niece and Shaun and I stayed home. After a little while Shaun came down and wanted to eat because now he was hungry. I guess so what 6 year old boy can survive on plain toast alone! Over the course of an hour or so Shaun ate the following.
4 Chick Fil A nuggets and some fries
Half an apple
Peanut Butter Sandwich
Brownie
I guess he is feeling better if he can eat all of that. LOL. Actually as of bed time he still had a fever so I guess he just built up an appetite for all of that food due to his lack of a sound breakfast.
Ok, so to the title of my post. I needed to lay out the day yesterday in order to get to my point. Shaun is usually a high strung kid who cries at the drop of a hat. If you tell him no to TV, going outside or pretty much anything for that matter he will cry. I thought by the age of 6 the crying would slow down but NOPE. Yesterday was a much different day. All day yesterday he was CALM as could be. No crying all day. If you asked him to do something he did it will NO complaints at all which is usually not the case. He ate dinner without a single complaint which usually is not the case. We even gave him a $3 cupcake that Melinda picked up at a fancy bakery in Delaware and Shaun didn’t even want it which usually not the case.
Are you starting to see a theme here? I am!!!! I need Shaun to be sick all of the time because when he is he is the nicest kid to be around. Pleasant, no crying or complaining.
Not sure why sickness is the only time when he is CALM but I will take it because yesterday was so relaxed and not filled with stress like usual. I am not saying I want Shaun to feel like crap all of the time so he is calm I just wish on a normal day when he felt fine he was like that also.
What are your thoughts on this?
