We made it!

My blueberry and I survived 2 sicknesses and 4 days without claude.I feel and look a little bit like the woman in the picture though.
I had a chat with the director of the crèche to discuss what we can possibly change so that he does'n't get sick as often. I wanted them to know that we were not fine with this situation. It was a challenge for me to remain cool on the phone without sounding like I'm  doubting the conditions of the crèche (I do, but they shouldn't know that). Anyway, we talked and now we have an action plan.  I'm such a successfull proactive mama, go me!

And finally...I noticed I haven't been updating the blog with blueberry photos...So here's my sick bébé...
Sick but still smiley..Oh, how I love him!
He hit his head on the corner of our chair, poor thing :(

  2. Oh, and I have an oh-so-practical-and-not-at-all-inconvenient/ridiculous solution for Sevan's propensity for sickness (although now, I suspect his immune system is insanely primed to fight germs). Get a dog.

    Apparently dogs bring in small doses of germs and other outside nasties and the babies get used to them early. Yup. That's what they say.

    In this case, "they" are Finnish scientists. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504763_162-57468598-10391704/babies-with-dogs-less-likely-to-develop-colds-ear-infections-as-infants/

    You could always get one of those teeny, tiny, not even really a dog, dogs. BUT, those dogs are more likely to be aggressive and bite. Little jerks.

  3. I'm so not ready to have the life-long responsability of another being...Even teeniest, tiniest dog will be such a huge commitment...
    But if one day we hesitate, this will be a huge pro on dog's sides. It's recorded!

    1. Wait, you're NOT ready to care for another living being and make any and all decisions around that new being in addition to the others in your life???

      Strange....
