Sick day

We had thought since he hasn't been going to daycare that we would fall sick once he started school. Still, when he started sneezing (wet spraying) after napping in the car, and still being tired, it's a bit of a surprise. He is congested. It makes sense: 48 hours from exposure to start showing signs of sickness.

It's up to dad (on drop-off duty) to make the judgment call in the morning. If he wakes up healthy and happy, it's a go. Otherwise, if we would normally cancel a planned outing or play date based on his condition, we would make the same decision to keep him at home to rest and recover. In other words, if he's too sick to participate, and spends all his time holding wet Kleenex, he should stay home.

Yes, we want him to get into the kindergarten routine, but we don't have reason to be concerned about his ability to adapt or about his social skills.

So this might be a "soft start" to school for him. But we should probably drop off those all-important forms if he misses more than a day...
