the non-musical

For weeks now, Alec has been practicing for the 2nd grade musical. It's a patriotic theme (since it was scheduled for Election Night). He's memorized the songs and moves and has taken it very seriously. I made sure the camera battery is charged, remind Rodrigo that he has to leave work early today, just planned everything for today. So I go get him from school and just as I'd parked, my cell phone rings. It was the school nurse. Alec is running a fever of 102 degrees and isn't feeling well at all. Suck. He needs to be fever-free for at least 24 hours before he can go back to school. Poor thing. He was sooooo disappointed about not being able to be in the musical.
Oh well, he's been asleep pretty much since we got home from school. : ( I know that's the best thing for him right now. Soup, sleep and cuddles should do the trick.
