That Friday afternoon was picture day for Yaya's dancing class. I went into the daycare around 2pm, quite out of ordinary, i found Yaya was sleeping. It took me quite some effort to wake her up and still she did not show any excitement as expected in the car. By chatting with her, i learned that she cried before nap(no wonder it was sort of wet on her cot and some tissue was lying around her head). When being asked why, she said that she's afraid that mommy would not come to pick her up. At that point, i have not realized that something was wrong yet(how careless of me). Her calmness puzzled me all along the way, even after i did her hair and put on her pretty costume. She had few words, and wanted to sit on my lap. That was when i felt that she was sort of warm. I soon realized that she was not feeling well. That explained her crying, unusal napping at school, etc. Even worse, we were way too early for her class picture. It was not easy to finally get her turn for the picture taken, but she told me afterwards that she smiled for the photographer.

That night, I was a bit worried about her health(it has been too long to see her like that, we even forgot when was the last time this girl got sick), whether she would be able to make it to the Sunday recital. The fever did come in in the middle of night but she slept well on Tylenol. Saturday she insisted going to the last dancing class. But obviously she was not as active as usual and wanted a lot of cuddling during that day. Poor baby.
