WRONG-O!<br /><br />Feel quite free to chuckle at my expense, if you haven't already done so!<br /><br />GusGus Van Hornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05126749051688217781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839412.post-28453798754312151122012-12-04T18:32:53.310-06:002012-12-04T18:32:53.310-06:00My son first went into daycare when he was 1.5.

I was getting far too smug and my hubris was punished. Once my son was in daycare, for the next couple of years I had a cold almost as often as not. However, now Matthew is 11 and things have settled - again the entire family has experienced a long period of wellness. I seem to be getting smug again.<br />Good luck.<br />Steve Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839412.post-80066181677804906552012-12-03T08:18:19.485-06:002012-12-03T08:18:19.485-06:00"Read: Vomit.
