Fever!

Posted on by MICHELLE N
William looked tired; poor my little baby boy!

Friday Night.

While William was  eating yogurt after dinner, he threw up!  His forehead was warm to the touch.  Soon later, his temp raised to 102.6 so I gave him 7.5 ml of the Children Tylenol Fever & Pain Reliever.  His temp decreased later to 101.2  and he felt asleep. His eyes are still swollen and I put some Aquaphor cream on it.

Saturday Morning.  William woke up around 7 AM.  His temp risen back to 102.3 so I gave him another dose of Tylenol.  He acted very normal later: play, watch ipad, run around, eat lunch.   He played with water in our garden for about 15 minutes then I took him to shower and had lunch.

Saturday 2 PM.  Another dose of Tylenol; he looked sleepy but somehow he could not sleep.  Later afternoon around 5 PM, I fed him some sweet cake,  smoothie yogurt, some french fries.  Then we played for half an hour in the garden.  He peed in his pants so I gave him another shower with warm water with hoping that could lower his temp.

8 PM, his temp rose again to 102 therefore another dose of Tylenol.  He had a bottle of milk and felt asleep around 9:30 PM.

Hopefully he’ll feel better tomorrow so that I can go to school.   In order to go to school one has to be fever free for at least 24 hours.

There’s something on his right leg that is getting bigger. Not sure what that is.

Pick Up Breakfast?

Posted on by MICHELLE N

Wednesday Morning.  We were a little bit late today; Ms. DeLeon and Mrs. Birdie already went in to class so I took him in.   At the corner where we need to make a right turn to his class, he stopped and pulled my hand to go to the other way.  It’s the way to the cafeteria!  Every morning the teacher would take him and his classmates  to the cafeteria, so he knows the routine.   His teacher aid saw him and walked with us to the cafeteria to pick up breakfast.  She said “he’s one of the independent students!”.  I’m so happy that my boy adapted so well only after 3 weeks at the new school.

3rd Week of Summer School

Posted on by MICHELLE N

Monday morning 8:00 AM.  It’s 3rd week of Summer School already.  William seems to be fine with everything.  When we approached Mrs. Birdie, he reached out for her hands immediately and turned around and waved Bye to me.

It’s Saturday, Library Time

Posted on by MICHELLE N

Saturday morning, We took William to Central Library for Book Reading but they canceled because they have Book Festival so we let William use the computer instead.

He played the song One, Two, Buckle My Shoes so many times and refused to listen to other songs.

He made loud noise so I told him “Be quiet!”, he repeated after me and said “Shhhh” but yet he continued make loud noise! 🙂

Outdoor Concert on Friday Night

Posted on by MICHELLE N

Friday, ABA session was moved up to 2 PM so we were free in the evening.   There was a free outdoor concert at the theater near by so we decided to go.

William ran to the stage, ran toward the streets,  and I had a hard time to stop him.  After 1 hour, we decided to leave because it was to dangerous that William kept running around and not be aware of surroundings.

 

New School Is Tough!

Posted on by MICHELLE N

Thursday Morning 8:00 AM.

I was informed by school  yesterday that William will be moved to a new class room #49 with a new teacher today, with Ms. DeLeon; Mrs. Newman Heather ‘s class will be closed and she will no longer teach summer (it’s understandable because her class only has 3 students).  However Mrs. Birdie will go with William to new class.

So after I sent him in with Mrs. Birdie, I went to the office to get the pass to check out his new classroom and say hi to his new teacher.

Knocked on the room #49 3 times, no one answered so I attempted to open it.  It was locked!

So I looked around, he was not out there at the pick up location with Mrs. Birdie, he was not there at the seating area where children were having breakfast.  Then finally I found him standing in line at the cafeteria  holding his breakfast tray that was full of food !  Ms. De Leon were there so I approached her and said hi; she’s a very young lady, I think about the same age as Mrs. Hana from Mitchell.

Then everyone walked to their classroom with their breakfast trays.  I’m so surprised that William did follow thru, walked in line with the breakfast tray in his hands without any frustrated signs.  I was like “Wow, how did he cope with the new changes?  At Mitchell school, breakfast was brought to them!”

I’m just simply happy that he seems fine for that past week, despite all the new changes that he has to follow.

Need this pass whenever we need to go inside the school. Get it at the Office which is a bit far from the parking lot. It’s 1 time pass.

 

William Loves The Book “Rosie Comes to PreSchool”

Posted on by MICHELLE N

Tuesday evening, ABA Session with Ms. Jody as usual.

Which book do you want to read? Ms. Jody asked

Rosie! – William responded without thinking.

Last year when I brought the books into the room; he would throw them out the door and close the door.  Now he loves to read the books; and we read book every night on our bed before he goes to sleep.

The book “Rosie Comes to Preschool” is long but he always wants to finish the book.  He know about 80% of the words in the book.

We’re so proud of you William!

2nd Week Of Summer School

Posted on by MICHELLE N
William walked to classroom with Mrs. Newman

Tuesday Morning.  It’s 2nd week of summer school already.  This morning when I washed his face and told him that we were going to school; he said “Gary” (what he meant is Children’s World Preschool, where Mr. Gary is the director).

– School first, and then we go to Gary after lunch! – he seemed to be upset a bit; tears came to his eyes.  “Gary after lunch OK William?” I said it again.

After that he was fine.  When I dropped him off and handed his hand to Mrs. Newman, he turned to me and said Good Bye; and then walked with her.

First Time To The Zoo

Posted on by MICHELLE N

Saturday Morning.

We’ve been reading the book Zoo Animals almost every night, and I realized that we have not taken him to the zoo!  What a terrible mistake so we decided to go today; there’s a small Santa Ana zoo which is around 15 minutes away from our house.  He was so excited to get ready!

Zoo entrance. A nice gentleman offered to take a picture for us. Thank you!

What can we find in the zoo? what animal? – I asked while we were on the way there.

Dog! – William replied after a pause of thinking.

OK, what else?

Sheep!

What animal has a long neck?  He could not remember, so I reminded him “Gi…”

Giraffe! – He said.

But too bad we could not find giraffe at this small zoo.  This zoo has lots of monkeys, some birds, camels and few other animals.  It’s really a small zoo!

Selfie time!

Admission fee: $33 for 3 of us.  (Annual membership for a family of 4 would cost $99, which is valid at at most all zoos).

After we paid entrance fee and got in, he looked around, sat on a chair and said “I want to go home!”.

He didn’t care much about the animals, he loved to touch the metal boxes that they put through out the zoo.  At some point he liked to watch the monkeys fighting.  I tried to persuade him to take the little train; he said no at first but after he saw one passing by, he said yes.  (It requires 3 tix per person, $1.5 per ticket so $4.5 for each person).  William was waiting patiently with us without running around for the next train to come, which is a really good behavior.  But when we got seated, the train conductor started to talk, William cried.  I guess it was so loud for him and he didn’t expect to hear that.  After a few seconds of comforting him, telling him everything is gonna be ok, then he stopped crying.

He touched this box whenever he saw one!

William did not seem to enjoy the zoo or train very much.  We planned to go the San Diego zoo but after seeing his reaction at the zoo today we’re not sure if we want to take him back to the zoo any time soon.  It’s 2 hours drive to San Diego zoo and if he’s not enjoy much then it’s not worth it.
