It is summer holiday....but...

She was supposed to miss only 3 days of the last week of school days.. but she missed four.. It was fate i suppose that she was with high fever n terrible headache on Monday... She was crying all day..which got us thinking of the worst... only later when we saw spots inside her mouth were we feeling so much relieved that all those pain was due to that..and so she was on antibiotics...

She was feeling a bit better on Tuesday. Halil told me not to send her to school that day but i knew then as i know now that if she didnt get to say her farewell to her closest friends, she would be sad... besides, it is not a sure thing that everyone will be in the same class when they enter first grade... With a promise that i would pick her up after a few hours, she left for school...armed with ibufen just in case her fever decided to reappear.. and minoset for her headache..

I called the teacher at 11am to enquire of her condition... she said that my princess was doing fine... and thus, she came back home at the usual time...

She couldnt eat anything.her throat was really painful... but u know what? just two days of *swallowing* the sea salty water while we were basking ourselves under the sun in Çeşme.., the magic of the sea had done its magic! she was healed!

If u ask me.....did i regret not sending her that last 3 days n instead went to Çeşme for a holiday... Yes... she had to miss the chess activity on Saturday, she did miss the swimming in the school pool with her classmates ... but Çeşme was something else as well...something i am gad we didnt miss...

Anyway.. there was the extra activities on monday, tuesday n wednesday after the summer holiday started... she missed the wednesday activity but she did get to join the swimming activities on Monday....Anyway... Summer Holiday may be on.. but i will keep on updating this blog whenever i am in istanbul.....

here is a picture of hatice at the school pool... :0) i didnt put other kids' picture in their swimming suits just in case their families r against it.. but if they want to see the pics, i'll gladly email them to u... :0)

Yes.. it is summer holiday... but Hatice is missing her friends... only today she cried coz she was missing her friends... she talked to elif today on the phone... n if i let her she would even call all her close friends! hahahah...and guess what? she keeps asking...

*anne.. how many days r there in 3 months??*

... oh dear little princess...be patient! and she even made me call her class teacher Nilgün hanım coz she misses her teacher while we were holidaying in Çeşme.. how sweet!

We will be splashing ourselves in Sapanca this Sunday for a week.. i bet she will demand that i call one of her friends from there *chuckles*... please remind me to bring that list of her friends' phone numbers!! else, i may get into trouble! :0)
