My daughter got a rash on her face, temporary and not serious. It reminded me, however, that neither of them has been too sick this winter. They each had the same long but very mild cold and the same six hour stomach virus, but that is it so far. This could change of course before winter is over.
When I think back to my own childhood, unless I had a fever or threw up, I went to school. It is a good thing that I did too because when I had chicken pox and was out for several days, it was horrible trying to catch up. It seemed so unfair to just finish being sick and then go back to school and have to do double the work. It is a wonder we didn't get sick repeatedly from being worn out.
That is the best part about homeschooling. When the kids are sick, they can take a day off or do a shorter day. With the little ones, maybe it is a day for cuddle schooling, anything that can be done curled up on the couch with Mom (or Dad). When we cuddle school, we read books and watch Spanish DVDs. I didn't make up the term "cuddle school"; I have heard the phrase from many homeschool moms.
