Jammy Day

Lily's class had a jammy day last week and made chocolate chip pancakes.  How lucky is she to have such an awesome first teacher??

A little reading before leaving for school

I'm pretty sure Lily thought I had lost it when we changed from her jammies she slept in to just another pair of jammies!

Her school has a strict policy on tennis shoes only for school.  So I had to get a picture with the shoes!

They stay busy at school and we are lucky that her teacher uploads pictures at the end of each day from their day at school.  I love getting these each day she goes and I know it won't happen every year so I'm enjoying it now!

A little painting - I think she paints every day she goes to school!

The night before her jammy day, Lily was awake until 11:00.  She just wouldn't fall asleep.  I knew the following morning would be tough.  But, it wasn't too bad.  I did let her sleep as long as possible, then woke her up, had a quick breakfast and got dressed to go.  She seemed a little tired but OK.  I forgot to mention her late night to her teacher when I dropped her off.  

A couple hours after school started, I got a call from the nurse.  She explained that her teacher had asked the nurse to come down and check on her as she just wasn't herself.  She wasn't doing as much as she usually does and was laying on the teacher's lap having a hard time keeping her eyes open.

 The nurse checked her temperature, her oxygen saturation and listened to her heart.  They are always on the safe side with Lily's background and I love that!  The nurse said her vitals were all good and she just wanted to check with me to see if she had been feeling ok lately.  

After listening to what she had to say, I explained that Lily was probably really tired since she had been up since 11 the night before.  I had to laugh a little thinking how tired she must be and thinking to myself that if I could keep her up all day, I may have some luck at getting her to sleep at a normal time that night!  I wanted to call the nurse back and explain that she was not to fall asleep there at school.  But I didn't. 

On the way home - we talked and sang so she wouldn't fall asleep

Lily did stay awake all that day and did go to sleep at a normal time that night.  I did let her rest a little with her iPad when we got home from school.  She did ask for a pillow and a blanket.

Jammy day at school can be hard on a little girl
