My Frog Hurts

My three-year-old tossed and whined all night. Something was bothering her but she wouldn't tell me what. Her head was cool but her bare feet were really hot so I wasn't sure if she had a fever or not through the night (and thanks to the kids, our thermometer went missing). Hot feet? I dunno! That's a new one on me and I thought I'd seen everything seeing as she is our sixth between our kids and my stepkids. She couldn't get comfortable for nothing. A few times, I had to pull her back from the edge of the bed before she'd rolled herself off of it. I didn't want to add concussion into it if she hit the wall or dresser. Through the night she would sit up and put her hands below her mouth...I thought she was going to yak.

When she woke this morning, I asked her if anything hurt. Lo and behold...she's talking now! *sigh* She said her frog hurt and that she had a frog in her throat. OK, I take that to mean she has a sore throat in three-year-old speak (she's adorable even when she's sick...my frog hurts). She also felt more definite like she had a fever when she woke up. No preschool for her today. Throughout the morning, her cough has increased.

She started pre-school last week. It didn't take two weeks for those school germs to get her. I expected this to happen since this is her first year of pre-school and her immune system is going to have to go through this but I was hoping it wouldn't start right away. It's still in the 90's here...I thought it'd wait until the weather cooled.
