This household is taking turns sharing our little lockdown bug. How is this even possible? We are not around anyone else.
It's not just our conundrum, the NYT had a great article a few days ago (sent from my sister) "How Are My Kids Still Getting Sick in Lockdown (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/24/parenting/virus-kids-sick-quarantine-infection.html). It's a long article that explained many reasons. Our own bodies harbor germs that normally live within our bodies and sometimes end up in the wrong place. Adults can bring in a germ from going to the bank or the grocery. Taking hikes has now caused a rise in Lyme disease.
We don't do as much online learning as we could, but they are both making rapid progress in many subjects. They are both learning life skills as well. Mr. 6.5 made chocolate chip cookies the other day. Mom helped him get all of the ingredients and he got out all the measuring utensils. He knows how to level things and is learning the KitchenAid mixer. They were delish! And they get lots of physical exercise as well.
Mr. Almost Ten now knows how to create different games within Roblox. The only problem is that he has to use my computer as their laptop is too old to update to accommodate most new things.
I do take myself on a drive most every day. Yesterday the boys were both feeling well so off to Krispy Kreme!
Fart Factory? I guess I'm glad I had only one son?
ReplyDeleteand that bring up another question I have always wondered about.
How can boys/men fart on cue? Whenever they want to?
I know, right? And they laugh every single time!!!
DeleteOh, my gosh those Krispy Kremes look great!
ReplyDeleteYou can drive yourself crazy trying to figure how we bring germs home. Hope everyone is feeling well soon.
I don't have a sweet tooth very often. I had one bite of a old fashion plain old glazed. SOOOOOOO sweet

ReplyDeleteYum on those donuts! Glad everyone seems on the road to recovery. I would think our immune systems are not as healthy as they were before the lock down. I think we were around so many germs that our immune systems kind of battled them courageously we will say because there was so much out there. Now everyone is trying their best to avoid germs and our systems are weakened. That's my theory for what it is worth :)
Children keep us young I do believe!

You may be right. I'm home most of the time (even preCovid) so that's why I catch every little thing.
Deleteha ha! Leave it to boys to invent that kind of a game! The donuts are absolutely the cutest things!
