Savannah & Andrew updates

I took Savannah to the doc this morning.  Before we left, her fever was at 103.7!  But with some Advil in her system, she appeared perfectly fine for the doc.  They did a strep swab (which is what I reallyyyy believed it would be), but that came back negative.  They gave me a Rx for an antibiotic for her so that we can give it to her in a couple of days if she's still not feeling better.  They said that she either has (maybe?) a sinus infection or possibly just a virus.  Not sure what we're looking at really....  After we went to the doctor, we came home & took a 2 hour nap together.  It was a nice day alone w/ my baby girl, aside from the being sick part.  :)

Andrew's school Christmas program was tonight.  He was a penguin (along with about 1000 other kids).  We saw him 'waddle' in & get onto the stage at the beginning of the play, but after the first song, we couldn't find him.  We were all the way at the back of the cafeteria & there were a million people standing up so we had a hard time seeing the stage at all & couldn't spot the area he had been standing after the first couple of minutes.  We figured he was in the mix of a million other kids dressed as penguins & didn't worry about him.  After the play, I took the other kids to the van while Larry chased down Andrew in the crowd.  As he approached him, he told him that he'd done great (the show really was cute!).  Before Andrew could reply, his teacher did.  She pulled Larry aside & said that Andrew had gotten upset during the first song when someone else stood in his spot on the stage, so he left the stage & refused to go back.  He sat on the front row with her the rest of the program.  When Larry asked him what happened, he said that he was mad because someone took his place so he decided it was better to just quit the whole thing.  He's a very "black & white" kid.  If this is my spot, you can't stand there....ever....not even your big toe can be put in my spot.

Hmm....lessons in grace may be wise!
