Windy whistles: *softly* dashie time to wake up.


Rainbow: *whimpering* mummy.


Windy went over to rainbows bed and saw that rainbow seemed to sweating but shivering at the same time. Windy placed her hand on rainbows forehead, and looked at her daughter with concerned eyes.


Windy whistles: *concerned* oh baby you feel really hot.


Rainbow: *shivering and whimpering* I'm cold mummy.


Windy whistles: *moving the hair out of rainbows face* I think you have a fever baby, come lets go downstairs and I'll take your temperature.


Rainbow grabbed tank and her blankie and then windy picked her up, and carried her downstairs. Once they'd gotten downtown windy places rainbow on the sofa and covered her with the blanket. Then she grabbed the thermometer and took rainbows temperature.


Windy whistles: *looks at thermometer* 39 degrees Celsius. No nursery for you today dashie.


She then called the school to let them know that rainbow wouldn't be going in, after she'd done that she decided to go and sit with rainbow on the sofa. Rainbow had the blanket pulled up to her neck but windy could see how much she was sweating, so she pulled the blanket down to just above rainbows waist.


Rainbow: *whimpering* mummy I'm cold.


Windy whistles: *strokes rainbows hair* I know sweetie but because you've got a temperature, you're going to be really hot as well, so just keep the blanket on half your body.


Rainbow started crying so windy lifted her on to her lap and ,started rocking her in order to try and soothe her.
