- Maybe (1) she's coming down with something; (2) something upsetting happened at school; or (3) lacking certain nutrients. Either way, I would call her teacher and ask and taker her to the doctor for quick checkup.

  - she's on antibiotics for an ear infection. but she's never had this as a side effect before. what's interesting to me is that her behavior has improved considerably. not sure if that's due to an absence of ear pain or more sleep.

    - well, antibiotics are known to cause fatigue. behavior improvement may be due to both lack of pain and sleep gain. a quick call to the pediatrician mid-week does not hurt.

- np my 5yo dd has been tired ;ate;y, asking for a nap & to put down before younger sibs. Was never like this last yr in PreK. Growth spurt makes sense to me although I was also thinking that maybe it is the ennui of K after all the fun of PreK.
