So we got a call from daycare yesterday telling us that they thought Mia might have Hand, Foot and Mouth. I know. I’ve nver heard of it either. My first concern was there might be a massive Mia recall from our grocer’s shelves but then I realized that was Hoof and Mouth which is something entirely different… Thanks WebMD for clearing up that confusion.

The good news is she’s fine. This kid doesn’t seem to understand the concept of being sick and just keeps on chugging along. Bad news is she can’t go back to daycare until all of her spots are gone. How long might that take you say? Oh, could be 10 days. 10 DAYS! Someone will be checking into St. Vincent’s “Spa” ward if that child has to be home for 10 whole days.

We’re debating the effectiveness of coating her in Bare Minerals and sending her on her merry little speckled way but the website doesn’t really say which shade will best cover the spots on her tongue.
