Roo: Children Are The Ultimate Vectors

[woodwardiocom]

Saturday, we took Roo to the Children's Discovery Museum for her cousin's birthday party. The Museum is awesome and we shall return, oh yes, we shall return.

Sunday, we hosted a kid's clothing swap.

Sunday night, sometime between 7pm and 11pm, the Roo got hit with a cold of epic proportions and swift onset. She spent the night snuffling and wheezing, most of it in our bed. Her preferred method of sleeping between us appears to be pushing me away with all four limbs whilst burrowing into buxom_bey's back. I had to remove a foot from my ear at one point...

Monday, all of us stayed home due to sniffles and exhaustion. Her mood and energy levels improved dramatically over the day, and the night was peaceful. She's still a bit snotty, but not much more than usual. It's freaky how fast that cold hit and then retreated!

If you do another kids' clothing swap sometime, we'd love to participate. We couldn't have made it to this one, so no worries... and I don't know if "kids" includes "babies," but it would be a nice excuse to see you and hang out with the big kids. :)

What she said. We have a big pile of outgrown clothes too.

Babies are definitely included, since clothes trickle down.

Sorry we missed the swap. I lost most of Sunday to a persistent headache and missed other stuff that day, too. Then again, I'm not sorry to have missed coming in contact with whatever y'all had.

I remember kids' remarkably resilience. Sadly ours seem to have lost much of that in the past couple years.

On the other hand, it can be... trying to have a newly well kid all energetic and bouncy and demanding when Mom and Dad are still down with whatever the crud was.
