OMG,Jenn the L, we are pretty hand sanitzer'ish, and I can just see it now, Jonah with a pocket sized hand sanitizer!! They wash hands as soon as they come into the classroom, and I asked him if they washed up before snack time and he told me no. Ugh. When we went to Chuck E. Cheese yesterday (gross), I had a sanitizer in my pocket and used it on him before he ate. The BR there was disgusting, and washing at the sink had some pitfalls...no stool for him, water on the floor, the counter. It was gross. I saw some little girl in the climb thingy sucking on her fingers, which she then put on the floor. So, so gross. They have said the are studies that have found fecal matter in those things.

I think last year's sinus thing was directly related to his adnoids/tonsils- he was worn down, and caught a cold. I remember that he was sick on Thanksgiving Day, and by mid December, he wasn't any better and in we went for the sinus infection.

It is hard when they are so little, and can't remember to not put their hands in their mouths/eyes. I do kind of go spastic at him when I see him put his hand to his mouth when we are out and about (not that my house is germ free by any standard).

He is coughing less this am, and his nose isn't as packed as it has been.

Again, I thank everyone for their opinions/advice/suggestions/well wishes. No matter what it is, it is nothing serious, and I am very cognizant of how blessed I am to complain or rant over either a sinus infection, an allergy, a cold, and appropriate medical care. If I made it seem like a bigger deal than it should be, I apologize!
