I coughed a lot during the night but I woke up happy and ready to eat breakfast.  I told Mimz I didn't want to go to school but I was okay getting dressed and went to school anyway.

This morning Mimz and I were talking about how I used a crib when I was a baby but how now I like my big boy bed.  I said I knew that when I woke up, if I called out, Mimz would come to me.

Mimz was putting sheets in the washing machine and I told her I wanted Monk to have a bath, so he went into the machine.  Yesterday Barbara asked me a couple of times if she could put Monk Monk in the washing machine for a bath.  I said no both times.  I guess today, since it was my idea, I was willing.  I do like being in charge.

Oh Dear!  Mimz got a bad report today when she picked me up from school.  It seems I broke a bunch of crayons.  Miss Melody talked to Mimz about it.  They talked about me coming to school three days a week starting this fall.  That is usual progression because next year is PreK and the next year is a 5 day program to prepare for Kindergarten.  Miss Melody told her I am certainly ready .  She also said I am always happy at school.  I do have a few bad moments, but not many.  Next year my teachers name would Miss Annette.

When Mimz and later when Barbara talked with me about the crayon incident, I told them I was going to keep doing it.  They tried to explain to me why that would not be a good idea.

Barbara met Mimz and me at the school around 3pm.  On the trip home Barbara used the word "balance" and I asked her what that was.  She explained it and I said, "like our block balance beam we made months ago.  Can we make another one."  I have a very good memory.

We made a little balance beam as soon as we got home.
I told Barbara I could spell my name, M-a-s-o-n and I did.  I generally just recognize it written or know what it is when I hear someone else spell it. 

I played all afternoon but it was quieter than I normal play.  I listened to a couple books on the iPad, and watched a couple of TV shows.  I did not take a nap. 

Since Mommy's elliptical is at our house, Mommy wants to ride on it after work before she comes to get me.  While Barbara and I were waiting for Mommy to arrive, Barbara noticed I felt warm to her touch.  I had a 100.8 temperature.  I had been acting normally, just a bit quiet.

Mimz told Barbara to give me Mucinex to help thin out the mucus and Ibuprophen for the fever.  Several times today I told Mimz I was tired.    I took both medicines "easy peasey."  Sometimes I will not take medicine no matter what they try.   I guess Barbara just has the right touch.

Daddy picked me up at 6:40 and took me home to Mommy.   I was asleep before 8:30pm.
