A's following the usual pattern this week of having a temperature of 98.something in the morning and 100.something in the evening. And he still has the cough, so it looks like pre-school on Friday is not an option. Luckily, he's not dehydrated, wildly congested, or having problems breathing.
Watching videos this morning tired him out so much he fell asleep for his nap before I could pick out a book to read to him. We've been learning a little about Egyptian Hieroglyphs. He seems particularly taken with the section of the ancient Egyptian book, "Spell for Going Forth by Day" that features the god Anubis weighing a soul's heart on the scales of justice against Maat, the feather of truth (winners go on to the Egyptian afterlife with Osirus; the not-so-nice get their heart eaten by a composite alligator-monster). We'll see if he remembers how to say "I have spoken in truth" in Egyptian ("Djedeni em ma-at").
Meanwhile, it's back to Curious George and pirates. And the Backyardigans.
