Somehow we had loads of fun in San Diego, despite the fact that we all had an array of illnesses while there. It has been ridiculous, every day for the past week one of the four of us has woken up with some new ailment. I would say we are all on the mend now, but each time I declare that a new rash, fever or snot-nose faucet appears so I'll stay mum. Instead I'll share my wisdom from the weekend.
1. Diet tip: If you take two sick-ish, tired kids to Souplantation there is no risk of over indulging at the buffet what with all the walking the screaming baby outside, slicing & doling out of food for a starving M and then more pacifying of the baby with straw dribbles of water.
2. Just like Grammy says, a cool bath in the sink will soothe the itchy, unexplained rash, AND make for a happy Porter.
3. Don't bother going to the store, two spoons will work just fine as a fill in for your forgotten contact lens case.
4. Porter is a trooper/We are terrible parents. His fever was down, but his awful rash was not yet resolved and we still decided to go ahead with our plan for a long day at the zoo. The zoo was amazing, as always, and so was Porter who tolerated 9+ hours strapped in the Bjorn. I am sure with our first kid we would have aborted all plans and stayed home for a week until she was thoroughly better before venturing out for big doings. Once again, "Sorry, second kid."
5. Don't get too close to the elephants.
