Why I haven’t blogged in a month

To all my blog fans…you may have wondered where I’ve gone. (Most likely no one has noticed).  I have not written for the last month because my computer got a virus on it and when we ran our antivirus program, the computer shut down before it could complete the entire scan. So, David was afraid of letting me connect to the internet, thus my absence. Thankfully, he's a brilliant problem solver and fixed it for me. :)

So, let me update you on one of the latest happenings. 

Bath time:

The kids were squealing with delight as they took a bath.  As every mommy knows, that could mean two things. Either they are just having innocent, acceptable fun doing something creative and silly that only they could come up with or they are doing something creative, silly but messy and it will take a lot of cleaning up and lecturing about not getting water everywhere. Thankfully, in this case, it was the first. I walk in to find them filling up a cup with cold water and splashing it onto each other as they fall down and laugh hysterically. They explained that first they took a hot bath and then they turned it cold. They thought it felt “fresh” to pour cold water onto each other and told me that it actually made them warmer.  For those of you who don’t know, this is actually called hydrotherapy. When you are sick, it will boost your immune system to take a “hot and cold” shower. First you get super hot, and then turn it cold for 2 minutes, then back to hot, then back to cold. This stimulates the circulatory and lymphatic systems. I found it ironic that my kids discovered this while playing in the bath and that they actually like it! (A long time ago when Omega was 1 year old she got sick and I tried giving her a hydrotherapy treatment. She was afraid of the bathtub for a solid two months after that.  I haven’t tried it on them since.) It’s good to know they like it now!

This picture wasn't taken during this incident, but nonetheless they always have a fun time in the bath together and I love to capture it.
