This week's adventures!

The title of this posting is really far more adventurous than the week actually was. We had a good week despite everything really.

On Thursday of last week we got a call from Cheryl to let us know that one of the kids at daycare had hand, foot and mouth disease. This is a rather odd childrens' disease where the kids get little blisters/ulcers in their mouthes, on their hands, their feet and at times on their behinds. On Friday Theo was ok, on Saturday he was ok - a little cranky, but ok, but on Sunday he started complaining that his mouth hurt. By Sunday evening he had little blisters in both cheeks, by Monday he had some on his behind and by Tuesday he had a couple on his hands and three on one of his feet. Today is Thursday and his blisters are going away thankfully!

At the same time I came down with a flu (I started having a sore throat on Saturday) and ended up going home on Tuesday afternoon and stayed home on Wednesday. Theo went back to daycare on Wednesday so I was able to get some rest. But I did drop him off later than usual at daycare so he could sleep in and picked him up earlier so that we could have some fun together at the end of the day. And I feel better today thankfully, although I don't entirely trust the peace yet. I always get so sick - I'm a bit surprized that my cold is already calming down. But don't get me wrong, I'm happy to be feeling better and will certainly not look a gift horse in the mouth!!!

All in all the week went fine - despite the hickups experienced. ;)
