Evening report

Well, things progressed slightly this afternoon. Caleb and John still running temps 101-102 but all 3 of them independently came to us complaining that their mouths hurt. Phone conference with the pediatrician and we believe they have hand-foot-mouth disease. It's bark is worse than it's bite. It's a virus so no need for anything other than pain relievers and plenty of liquids while the virus rides itself out. Shouldn't be more than a couple of days. Moral of the story -- WASH THOSE HANDS!

Speaking of morals, here's a lesson learned today -- when you decide to let your soon-to-be 9 year old write his own birthday party invitations (some of which actually have to be mailed so need to be written in ink), have plenty of white-out on hand! Enough said!

Good news! Elizabeth stayed dry all day today other than a stinky issue a few minutes ago (trying to put it as mildly as I can). That's quite the improvement. Now if we can just get her to take care of those stinky issues where she should and wake up dry (no problem being dry after nap time, when she takes a nap), we'll be set! Going smoother than I thought it would!
