100th day of school

Emerson and her classmates have been counting up to their 100Th day of school. They have anticipated a huge day of fun and snacks associated with this day and focusing on counting up to 100. Last week she complained to me that her throat felt like it sores in it, but never had any fever just a runny nose that almost every kid has right now. Thursday afternoon after school I ran her to the doctor just so they check out her throat and we left the doctors office with a sinus infection and strep throat. Needless to say, I was STUNNED by this as she never ran any fever or seemed like she felt bad. So, the doctor proceeds to tell us both that she could not attend school the next day. Emerson then proceeds to plead with the doctor telling her it is the 100Th day of school and there were going to be games and snacks and fun and to PLEASSSSSSSSSSSE let her go. Tears flowed for hours. She was devastated. We planned our own 100Th day party at home for Friday once Denny got home from work. Friday afternoon Emerson's best friend Isabelle brought her the 100Th day hat she had made at her school in hopes this would make Emerson feel better. It did and that was so nice of Isabelle to think of Em while she was home sick mopping around sad because she was missing a party at school (She is SO her father's child). We spent the weekend focusing on going back to school on Monday to celebrate the 101st day of school. The kids got to dress in black and white, watch parts of 101 Dalmations and they made and ate Dalmation pudding (vanilla pudding with mini oreos in it). She is glad to be back at school and to listen to her you would think she spent a week at home.
