Cough Again?

Posted on by MICHELLE N

Wednesday Morning 8:30 AM.  I dropped William off at his classroom; he put his backpack in his slot and ran to the play area as usual while I was talking to Ms. Vanessa for a few minutes.  When I looked over to the play area, I saw William lying on the floor with his face up and crying; his hands were trying to wipe off tears!  Not sure what happened but when I picked him up, he coughed several times and looked like he was feeling nauseous.  So Ms. Vanessa called the school nurse; Mrs. Krastine came by a few minutes later.  She listened to William’s heart, looked into his ears and said everything is good.

So I let him stay at the school; mainly because I know for sure he’s fine; maybe when he felt on the floor something got into his mouth that caused his cough.  He was totally fine at him when I prepared him to school in the morning.  He was sleepy but not sick.

Hopefully his day goes well today!

Special Treat From Mr. Gary

Posted on by MICHELLE N

Mr. Gary was there when I dropped William off at the Children World preschool after Mitchell school.  Now that Ms. Leila and Mo don’t work there anymore; Mr. Gary is watching the children in the room where William takes a nap.  I told him William didn’t eat at lunch so he went to the kitchen, hit up some tortilla and roll it up with a slice of ham.  William looked so happy when I put the plate in front of him; he bit a small piece.

After a few bites, Mr. Gary asked him to go to bed.  I really don’t like the location where his bed is: it’s under a hangar that full of stuffs.  What if they fall? And it’s right by the entry from the yard where all the dust from the sand, big trees can fly in; his allergies will get worse.  I’m planning to tell Mr. Gary to move his bed today.

His bed is next to the door (right) which is entrance from the play yard full of dust.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The left door is to the next class room and small kitchen. His bed is right under the hangar that full of stuffs; there are 2 buckets of water which I’m not sure what they are. Hopefully it’s not chemical stuffs.

Back to School After Vacation

Looking so sad!

Tuesday morning 8:30 AM.  After 1 week in Cancun, William has returned to school since yesterday.  He was fine yesterday but today he didn’t want to step in to class.  He eventually stepped in after I opened the door wide open but would not  run to the play area as he used to do.  Then finally he walked to the play area and sat down near the wall.

He just sat there while his peers play with toys.

Nap Time at Children’s World Preschool

William and his tiny bed, where he spends his nap time every day at Children’s World Preschool.

Afternoon @1:30 PM.  I dropped William off at Children’s World Preschool after picking him up from Mitchell school.  As usual he hangs up his lunch box to the hook then goes straight to his tiny bed.

Mr. Gary texted us this picture of William sleeping with the comment “Life is GOOOD”

Back to Mitchell School – 2nd year

Posted on by MICHELLE N
Received this letter from Santa Ana School District few days before the school starts.

Monday morning @ 8:30 AM.  Today marks William’s 2nd year going to Mitchell Child Development Center.  Hopefully he’ll learn more this year.  He cried at home and didn’t want to go but he did not cry when I dropped him off at Mrs. Hana Suh classroom 309.  He ran straight to a corner and sat down; I saw his smile while he’s sitting down and then he’s just sitting there and watching his friends playing toys.  I wish he’d know how to interact with other children or at least grasp a toy and play instead of just watching.

Hope that he will eat something for lunch under Mrs. Hana Suh’s supervision.  I’m still sad and curious as why he didn’t eat lunch during summer school with Ms. Heusser.

Not Eating Lunch

William always stands there when i leave the daycare.

Fri morning.   When I dropped William off at Children’s World preschool today; Ms. Leila told me William doesn’t want to eat lunch.  When it’s lunch time, he’d cry and doesn’t want to sit on the chair; and when he finally sits, he’d push food away.  Ms. Leila saved the food for him so that he can have it after nap time but then he’d refuse to eat too.

I felt bad knowing that my boy is starving the whole day; I wish he can talk so that he could tell me why he doesn’t want to eat lunch!

Lunch menu for this week
William loves to walk on these wooden block

 

 

William loves to walk on these wooden block.  He looks so sad when I leave!  He doesn’t play with other kids so he must be very lonely.  Poor my little boy.  I just wish I don’t have to work so that he can stay home or I can take him out to have some fun.

William Cried At the Daycare

Posted on by MICHELLE N

Wednesday morning.  I dropped William at the Children’s World preschool daycare (it’s summer break at Mitchell so we send William to the daycare full day for 2 weeks, until Mitchell school starts on Aug 14th), and he started to cry when I opened the door.

He didn’t want to go in!  I felt bad because that means that he doesn’t want to stay; there must be something that he doesn’t like about this school but he can’t talk about it.

He’s been going to this daycare for more than a year, so I find it very strange that he cried today.

Hopefully his time of staying here is fun;  I wish they can share their camera videos so that we can watch how’s he doing at school.

It’s Friday!

Posted on by MICHELLE N

Another hot summer day; and Friday is the day for water activities at Mitchell school so I had William wear short with waterproof shoes.  Today breakfast was egg hamburger but I noticed Ms. Heusser did not give William burger; she gave him tater tots (potatoes) instead so I asked.   She said because the record shows that William has allergy with egg so that’s why they serve him different breakfast.  I stood there and observed for 15 minutes while they were eating breakfast.  William picked up only small piece of tater tots; some times he tried to use the fork to pick a bigger piece but he could not.  Ms. Susan sat next to him but seemed to didn’t notice any thing. Not sure what ‘s she there for? Is she supposed to pay attention to them and help them eat their breakfast.  She only tried once “Karen, try this!” and put the food down on her plate because Karen refused.  That’s all she did!  I just don’t think she tries enough!
