Dylan was finally able to return to school yesterday. He was still a little tired, but he had been fever-free for 24 hours and supposedly was no longer contagious. He got through the school day just fine.*
He even made it to Mutual last night, to work on his cooking merit badge for Scouts.
*
His teacher told me Thursdays are their "easy" days, so it was a good day to return. No PE or other strenuous activities. He did, however, have his orchestra class during lunch recess.
*
*
It was violin in 4th grade. He took up flute and drums in 5th grade. Now he is exploring the cello. He loves the instrument, but hates lugging it around.
*
As always, Dylan is a natural, already playing quite well.
*
Dylan has a new teacher this year. His beloved Mr. Day took a job teaching music in Japan. Mr. Day emailed us some pictures. Japan is very beautiful.
*
The new teacher is Mrs. Bailey, who happens to be the conductor of White Mountain Symphony. She is very good. As a new teacher to our district, she also has a teacher-mentor... me!

In this picture, I sneaked up on Dylan while he was practicing in his room. He soon ordered me and my camera out!
Dylan's long-term musical aspiration has changed from drummer to bassist. Jacob's friend Kyle plays bass guitar, and Dylan thinks that is the coolest!*
When we went to Majestik Music to buy rosin and a music book for cello, Dylan took the opportunity to jam on the guest guitar for awhile. He actually doesn't sound too bad!
*
It was frightening when we realized Dylan had swine flu (H1N1), after all the scary reports about it. I'm so grateful he has recovered quickly, without complications.
*
You just keep chasing those dreams, my son!

It seems I heard the incubation period for the H1N1 is 2-3 days? So it seems like you and the others are out of the woods now for catching this right? I'm sure it does your heart good to see him back to playing his music.
I am glad to hear that Dylan has made a full recovery!
