It...Dude. bring them here. same thing at our house. It's the AGE. They bring it home from school and it's this way allllll f'ing winter. I hear Kindergarten and 1st grade-it gets better. And the prevailing thought is they get this all done NOW and not in elementary school. You'll be able to spot the kids who didn't go to preschool as they will be the ones missing tons of days in Kindergarten. <BR/><BR/>Our doctor always teases that "you'll get a break in June" and thinks he's hilarious. <BR/><BR/>It's common. It's normal. And I don't wipe after EVERY cold or I'd do nothing but wipe. Plus, then jack would get hives from the chemicals. And I don't have time to freaking hot water and soap soak every toy in the house daily.Queen of Spainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037281965062794374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16872587.post-32053889374660290542008-01-17T17:52:00.000-08:002008-01-17T17:52:00.000-08:00You go, Girlfriend!!

They fall, they get hurt, they get sick...they are kids and it's their job!

Grade school is necessary for the social aspects, not so much the 3R's.<BR/><BR/>I keep thinking that the frequency of Alia's colds would be reduced if we both washed our hands every time we came in the house. Do I remember to do this? Of course not.Diana Lublinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03033946762961869394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16872587.post-72421528965180839002008-01-16T06:58:00.000-08:002008-01-16T06:58:00.000-08:00It seems like sometimes you just catch everything ...It seems like sometimes you just catch everything that comes within 10 feet of your house. I feel like you do this winter, except I don't have a child in preschool. :) Here's hoping the summer will be a little easier on our immune systems.Safirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885594531853595282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16872587.post-58110021282898249852008-01-16T04:42:00.000-08:002008-01-16T04:42:00.000-08:00I don't think they're passing the same cold virus ...I don't think they're passing the same cold virus back and forth. Once your body fights it off, you have immunity to that particular one, unless it somehow mutates. But it wouldn't mutate multiple times in just over a month. <BR/><BR/>You're probably suffering from a little bad luck and a lot of new preschooler syndrome. When you send a kid to daycare or preschool and they've never been before, expect the first year to be filled with illness after illness. When Cordy was in daycare as a baby, she was constantly sick - as soon as she got over one, she picked up another virus. <BR/><BR/>I doubt her diet has anything to do with it. She likely eats better than Cordy does.<BR/><BR/>And I wouldn't worry that the Bug isn't learning as much or as fast as Sweet Pea. Remember, when we were kids, kindergarten was used to teach us our alphabet! The push towards "super mommies" is really too much sometimes. Together you'll find your own natural teaching moments without having to carve out time for it.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07345875955750219033noreply@blogger.com
