It was a tough week. Gwendolyn stayed home from school for the duration with the previously mentioned cold and a recurring fever. Daddy finally took her to see Dr. Art on Friday afternoon and discovered that she has the beginnings of an infection in her ears and throat. Now we're on an antibiotic regimen, and the cold is still hanging on...
While there was much more resting and cuddling than normal, some good playing was had:
What the next generation of NHL referees will be wearing.
You've gotta love the recorder-turned-whistle!
Building a creative sculpture with the nesting "pointy rainbow." Daddy thinks Frank Gehry might have a protege to consider! Should we also mention that this photo was taken at 4:30 (or so) in the morning?!? For several mornings in a row, Gwendolyn was wide awake at 4 a.m. on the dot. I guess it wasn't that fun trying to sleep with a cold/infection...
And some really interesting artwork was created:
Pretty self-explanatory, no?
A girl and two dragonflies, each with "two sets of powerful wings" (a direct quote from a current favourite book: Insect Detective). Note the round object beneath the dragonfly on the left: its bum, according to Gwendolyn.
Now this one is very interesting. The girl on top has a match; the girl laying down is practicing her "stop, drop and roll" technique -- for putting out the pending fire, we expect. Gwendolyn has obviously been paying attention during the school's fire drills...
Let's hope Monday sees a return to school for Gwendolyn. We're sure she misses her friends and teachers.
