Overbathing your kids?

Here's a fun article at parenting.com about the shortcuts we sometimes take concerning hygiene with kids. Which are deadly sins, and which are perfectly fine despite our worry! Go read and find out!

Day seven of my bloody cold: laryngitis and now sneezing and coughing all at once. How incrediby annoying.

So, first I cancelled the unnecessary thing: the gymnastics class on Monday; the voice necessary thing: the Mandarin class on Tuesday. Then yesterday I cancelled the speech therapy: small son woke up with a rattling cough too... and I thought a speech therapist might not like us to infect her and her whole business with laryngitis. ;D And I thought... well, at least I'll have lots of time to clean for the 6 month-home homestudy update on Wednesday.

And then the social worker cancelled that too! So we are having a most lazy week where we thought it was a most busy week. Good and bad. Something about having a clean house (I would've had, but don't) and external business to take one's mind off of feeling under the weather. ah well!

Today?
More snow. more more more.
Now go read that parenting article.
cheers.

Thought you might want to know that the link to the parenting article doesn't work. Check your HTML for the a href tag... Looks like you put "a hre" instead.

I thought the point of a bath for a small child was play therapy, not body odour. Kids sit in the bath, play and relax.

I used to look after a kid who was justifiably unhappy. When his day became too much for him, that was bathtime. After that life was good again for a while.
