I went to go have lunch with Colm today and when Colm saw me he started crying and said he wanted to go home. I felt his head and I knew why. He didn’t look like he felt well. We cleaned up his lunch and headed to the nurse’s office where she confirmed my suspicions. I asked Colm when he started feeling badly and he said at recess. He said he was walking around at recess crying because he didn’t feel good. Broke my heart. He just wanted to go home and lay down and he was stuck outside at recess with gale force winds. Poor guy. So tell your little people that if they don’t feel good they can tell their teacher and she will help them. It may seem obvious to us, but maybe not so much to them.
Update: When I was talking to him about this later he said he was also crying because he was cold and he was trying to stay warm. That REALLY broke my heart. He didn’t feel good AND he was freezing.
