Bonkers as a Box of Frogs!

I think we saw every hour last night. One very restless child ! We got up at 7am and started the morning routine. Boy Wonder struggled to function and appeared to be very tired. ( unsurprisingly.) Cat Girl got ready for school whilst Boy Wonder had a shower and then after dressing Boy Wonder which is becoming more difficult by the day, we went downstairs for breakfast.

On arrival at school we went straight inside as it was raining. I spoke with Boy Wonder's teacher and asked her if she had read the letter? She said that she had but said little more. I mentioned that I didn't have Boy Wonder's homeschool diary so hasn't written anything further in it. I explained that he had, had little sleep and had started his medication increase.

This afternoon I received a phone call from school to say that Cat Girl had diarrhoea and needed to be collected. I asked if she looked unwell and she said not really. I explained that it was likely to be her laxative medication as she suffers from constipation and that it was highly unlikely to be anything else. Anyway regardless of this she had to be collected ( although she already had a change of clothes and was comfortable) as policy stated that she may be contagious. I now was faced with the task of getting a 'fit note' from the G.P so that she didn't have to have two days off of school! If anyone has ever attempted to obtain a fit note for a child from the triage / emergency system in place at G.P surgeries you will know that this is not easy as in short you are insisting   on an appointment to prove your child is well. Mmm!!

I picked Boy Wonder up from school and he appeared low in mood and very confused about Cat Girl as he hasn't been informed. We left school and picked Cat Girl up from Super Gran's and Biker Gramps who had been ' nursing' the very well Cat Girl back to full fitness. They had their tea here before going off to piano lessons. Boy Wonder remained low except for a couple of moments of engagement with Biker Gramps. When I asked him if he was okay he told me that he felt unwell and was tired. He ate his jam sandwiches and some marshmallows. I checked his bag for his home school diary and it wasn't there again.

At piano Boy Wonder started to come round a bit more, which is usually the case when he is with his tutor who is as bonkers as a box of frogs and very good with him. After the lesson we spoke about them writing a report on Boy Wonder's progress on music theatre, dance and piano and their teaching approach which is clearly very successful. They agreed that it would be a worthwhile report.

At home Boy Wonder went up his room and played on his computer. He later watched football before attempting to settle down and read. Cat Girl went to bed and watched her programmes for a little while before going to sleep. She makes it look so easy!
