Sick of sick kids!

My kids were doing a group hug and one of them sneezed which was immediately inhaled by all. There is no getting away from it!

There's no avoiding the bugs unfortunately. I clean the floors daily, everyone has separate washcloths, linens and bed toys washed every weekend, soothers washed daily, vacuum alternate days, mopping, dusting, etc.....it never ends. They still all get sick, but this year has been better. I've started soaking all our hard toys in Dettol and hot water and wipe down all the books, furniture, shelving, kitchen centre with Dettol solution every Friday during my weekly disinfect. We've had our share of sniffles and snotty noses, but it seems a bit better this time around. I also have a bin for toys that get goobed up through the morning or afternoon that get disinfected each naptime and closing. All my kiddies are under 20 mos, so EVERYTHING is goobed up. I'm loving the Dettol!

I will say this - I started my ECE course, many moons ago, our professors told us to expect to be sick for about 2 years, until our immunity built up. They were absolutely right. I was ill in some form or another for nearly the full 2 yrs. Now I hardly ever get sick! I did get Strep this year, but nothing aside from that.....not one cold or stuffy nose! My immune system must be kick ass, because all my friends, family and clients have been suffering with head colds, flu, etc.
