Excursion!

So, just when I thought that with Amelia all better, we would be sailing smoothly through winter without another bout of anything. Well, didn't quite go as planned or imagined. Zach came down with a high temperature on Monday and was consistently running a fever of over 40C that would only come down if we gave him panadol. Mom and dad had enough of this and had us bring him to the doctors on Wednesday night. Thank God they made such a fuss. The doctor took one look down his throat and pronounced: throat infection. Well, once Zach got onto antibiotics, his fever went away and he is decidedly better.

We had to keep him home from school today. Didn't like doing that at all as his class was going to the Fire and Emergency Services Education and Heritage Centre
today. He missed out on his very first excursion. The whole experience of riding on a bus with his friends, having lunch out in the city and listening to the specialised program they had for the pre-primary to year 2 kids. Oh, I feel so absolutely sad for him.

Oh well, he is non-the-wiser as he has never been on an excursion and wouldn't know what he missed. There will be lots of other opportunities for that. After all, he is only in Kindy.
