DS has been off nursery sick for the past few days. Nothing serious, just temperature spikes and feeling a bit rubbish in general, so we kept him off to be safe.
Yesterday he was feeling much better, and DH was staying home with DS (we take it in turns). No medicine required, so just a day to chill out before nursery today.
I rang home at lunch and DH said DS was being very quiet, very whispery quiet voice, not really much. They played together for a little while, but DS seemed happier to just daydream and look out of the window. By the time I got home, DH was a bit put out that DS didn't seem himself and mentioned perhaps we should keep him off again today.
We got up this morning, and DS was fine and happy enough. We get to drop off, and the happiest little boy ever emerges. Greets his little friends with real joy, shouting their names and rushing off to play a game that's been organised by them.
I've totally been ditched by a 2yo and I feel quite upset, I feel like he doesn't really like us that much. We really make the effort to take him out to nice places and we all eat together and we have made such an effort to make this family a nice unit to live in because we grew up in such toxic ones. I'm worried we're doing it all wrong because DS just wants to be with his pals
