School, no! 上學不要!

Why the bad attitude? Well, the visit with grandparents meant two days off from school. Monday's return to routine wasn't nearly as tearful as we anticipated. But, by Tuesday afternoon, Binbin had caught his second Taipei cold virus. He returned home with us about an hour early, then stayed with us through Wednesday and Thursday. What is Binbin like when he's ill? He's coughing and got a runny nose. And though he wakes about 2 am needing more Tylenol, and wakes again at 6 for a bottle, he'll sleep until 8...and then, to his exhausted parents dismay, he won't nap until about 4 in the afternoon!

Jack and I are wiped out. Zengzeng laoshi called to check on Binbin yesterday, and heard the voice of a desperate mother. She encouraged Binbin's return to school this morning (Friday). So be it, and Binbin returned, crying and pleading nearly all the way, which left the parents feeling not so great, but the thought of some much needed rest during school hours won out.

We, too, are ill. Jack with a stomach bug; De-nin with the early stages of Binbin's cold. More regular blogging will have to wait until our good health is restored.
