Sick Day

Lilly has had her first sick day from school today. And I am trying to decide whether it was a good idea or not. Yesterday she came home with a very runny nose and she said she actually slept during nap time. That rang a bell for me, she never sleeps unless she is sick. She doesn't have a fever but feels warmer than usual. And last week we got an email from her teacher telling us to make sure we keep our kids home if they have any symptoms, so when Steven left for work I decided to keep her home just in case.
Well she wasn't too happy about staying home. She really wanted to go this morning and kept asking when she could go back. She still has symptoms which seem to be her sinuses, but Lilly never acts "sick". She has never let an illness  keep her doing all the things she wants to do and I know she is frustrated. She wants to keep busy and play. I just couldn't get her to understand that she needs to rest and get better. So I decided to let her watch movies today so that she will actually sit still and relax. Hopefully she feels better tomorrow and can go back tomorrow. On the plus side, I am glad she is really enjoying school again. She didn't like until a couple of weeks ago. Between this school being so different than the one in England and taking a month of leave in the states, she just wasn't all too thrilled with it. So thank God she is liking it!
