To leave the house or not to leave the house...that is the question.

So, anyone who has had kids knows how hard it is when they are young to pack them up and leave the house. Well for me, it's that as well as the fact that outside that door is the big, bad world of "germs" that I can't control.

I find myself in stores constantly looking around for those who are sneezing, coughing, etc. So, imagine the self control I had to have the day that crazy lady in Wal-Mart put her gross, smoke-smelling hands all over Nash's toy keys and then tried to put them in his mouth. It took everything in me to bite my tough, smile and say, "Oh, he's not teething yet so he just uses it as a toy" as I pulled the toy away from his mouth. At least she thanked me after for having the moment to "play" with my baby as she touched his cheek. Goodness! Well, that was the day I came home and frantically found my "Keep your damn hands off!" sign for the car seat.  Ok, it's a bit more polite than that but that's the underling message!

Thanks again Chrissy!

Nash and his keys that he "doesn't" put in his mouth. 

On the topic of germs, how many types of wipes could there possibly be?!?! Well, here are the ones I have in my diaper bag alone! (Yes, these things all exist! And yes, I have bought them all!)
-Pacifier wipes
-Toy and pacifier wipes
-Teeth/mouth wipes
-Boogie wipes
-Regular wipes for diaper changes (I like the Costco ones)

Add to that the ones I have at the house which are wipes for surfaces, again, I like the Costco ones, and the Dapple "Toy and Surface" wipes. Man, I really need to invent some other type of wipe!

Wipes anyone?
