George

Miss Gayla called from school and said George was complaining of a headache and was running a fever. I got there and had to wake him up to take him home. As I'm looking at him I'm also noticing his right eyelid has a bruise - I think he got it running into a door at home since he complained about it the other night and asked for a cold washcloth to hold on it. Sheesh!

He's probably going to miss his friend's birthday party this evening but I told him I'd bring him some pizza. This kid likes Buzz Lightyear almost as much as Estelle does. George was thinking if he woke up and felt a little better he could watch "Postcards from Buster" on PBS. It is a travel show through the eyes of a cartoon character (who is otherwise on Arthur in the mornings).

We did get invited to next-door neighbors for a New Year's Eve party but we'll have to see how George is feeling and how thrilled (or not) John is about it. By the way, his new overalls in the bigger size fit great!
