Rosy and Rhinitic

If you look closely at these snappies of my wee one's nape you'll see teeny tiny red bumps. Everywhere. (You might be able to click the pics to make them bigger, I'll check as soon as I publish this...) Poor boo has the bumps from stem to stern. I called the midwife yesterday, as soon as the rash crept out of the diaper area, and it is her firm belief that it is a viral rash to accompany the runny nose and cough that he has come down with (yet again).

And now we're also watching his right eye, as it seems a bit gooeyer than usual, and there is a very real possibility that he has rubbed some of his boogers into there and given himself pink eye. So we're at home this week, in Casa Contagion. Drop on by if you want to put your immune system to the test!

Here's a picture from the recent past when everyone was actually healthy, and Tank Boy looks more like Sleezy Stock Broker Boy trying to sell me some junk bonds in this new internet startup. He's so handsome I'm thinking of throwing in the whole nest egg...


Molly Cat approves of the at home domesticity. Here she is making sweet sweet love to my knitting projects. Hope the recipients aren't allergic to a wee bit o' cat dander!
