Thursday afternoon when dad picked up Nils from daycare, he was not feeling too well... In the evening his condition went worse and we measured his temperature, 40 degrees celsius!! So we immediately gave him a paracetamol and put hi to bed. Dad checked up on him half way throught the evening but he was sound asleep. In the morning his temperature had dropped considerably to 38,3 but we decided to let him stay home from school. At school they asked if he had the mexican flu but who can tell.. He only had a fever and no other problems like breathing so I guess it was just a regular flu. Saturday he felt fine and sunday it was all gone. But because of Nils having a flu, we had to cancel the birthday party we had planned on sunday for Lisette and Wende and called friends and family to let them know that we will postpone the festivities to next week. Anyway, we finished the shoe box stuffed with toys and handy things for the foundation samaritanspurse. The shoe box will be shipped along with many others to places were children do not get presents with christmas. Nils put some of his favorite toys in the box making his dad feel proud. On saturday afternoon we wanted to see Sinterklaas arriving in Woerden but instead we watched him arriving in Schiedam on the tv. In the evening Nils and Wende were allowed to set their shoe by the fireplace so Sinterklaas might put a little present in now he's in Holland again.. To make sure the Sint would not miss our house, Nils and Wende sang a couple of Sinterklaas songs and Nils made sure the song went into the chimney. Sunday we found a couple of presents in their shoes so the singing worked!! In addition we celebrated Wende's birthday and gave her the presents, she loved the playmobil princess palace complete with mean witch. It was a rainy day but we managed to go out and went to the library in Den Bosch. That is always a good idea because you have a special kids floor with lots of books and other things to do. When we arrived home, dad made pancakes and Wende ate 3 of them! Tomorrow is her real birthday, we told her when she would open her eyes again in the morning she would not be 2 anymore but 3 years old!
