Pickle

Photo is Gerard trying his first pickle. He liked it!
Today we're home with hand, foot and mouth disease. What a way to mark the 15th month! We thought this would be the week without doctors, but no such luck. It sounds awful, but is a very common and highly contagious virus. Seems infants and children get it. Of course, the doctors blame the daycare and the daycare blames the frequent visits to the hospital. Who knows? It is what it is. His hands and feet have the rash/bumps, but his mouth was spared except for the very back where he swallows. He's got very large tonsils, so I know that can't help matters. Luckily, he seems happy enough even through the itching. This has flared his eczema on top of that. All I can say is, it's snowing, so not such a bad day to stay at home and try to get work done.
