Lockdown with Hand Foot Mouth Disease...

Both my girls just recently experienced the wrath of Hand Foot Mouth Disease (HFMD). My little one caught it from my older daughter's preschool ironically enough. She then passed it on to my older daughter. Luckily, my older daughter's symptoms were pretty mild. The whole thing lasted about 13 days with my little one. My older one recovered pretty quickly. They both had to take a Maalox/Benadryl mixture for the sores in their mouth and ibuprofen/tylenol for the fever/pain. It was not fun. So yes, we were in lockdown for 13 glorious days ;). I am an expert on indoor activites for girls like painting nails and toes different colors each day, art projects, dvds, reading, dancing, eating lots of popsicles, playing in the bathtub, but BEST OF ALL, potty training... Hey, if you have to stay home for that long, might as well make the best of it ;).
