Illness, Huggies and Dads

I missed posting yesterday so I am trying to catch up. We have a sick household. Of seven, I think we have five and a half sick ones. The half being probably next, but so far just a little fever twelve hours ago.

We are also visiting my parents, and going to see my sister, her husband and their three kids in just a few minutes, for the first time since October...and that's pretty bad since we only live less than two hours apart. Being in Florida for Christmas got in the way of a more timely visit.

Due to lack of energy and time, I am going to leave a link to Lisa Belkin's post at Huffington Post regarding something going around the internet lately. It seems that Huggies forgets that Dad's are both increasingly competent at diaper changing, but also increasingly sensitive about being stereotyped for being incompetent. I think its great to see it being brought out into the light. Dad 2.0 sounds pretty cool too, I will have to check this out.

See you tomorrow.

Yikes. I remember those days. Mine are all grown up now, married, and making the most gorgeous babies of their own.

Hey! Maybe you could do a A-Z kids world of cooties and mishaps theme: A is for asthma, B is for bumps & bruises, C is for croup...

Almost all recovered today, our youngest son and I spent most of today in bed, playing games and sleeping. The baby's a little snuffly tonight, but otherwise, I think we are turning the corner.

A to Z of kids sicknesses...funny, scary and possible!
