SICK...AGAIN!

Good news: Monster man loves to dance (especially to "ring around the rosy...thank you Savannah!) And you would never know he is sick other than a lack of appetite.

Bad news: Little monster is sick...again! He has had a fever since Sunday night. I guess tomorrow morning we will be making a little trip to the d.o.c.t.o.r. We have already done two rounds of antibiotics in the last month; now what? Please pray for healing in his little body!

Side note: do you know the origin to "ring around the rosy"? This website http://www.snopes.com/language/literary/rosie.asp explains a possible connection that is false. "Ring around the rosy": a ring surrounding a little rosy bump was one of the first visible signs of infection ...an infection known as the Black Plague. "Pocket full of Posy": this referred to the belief that people thought they could protect themselves from "bad air" by keeping the "local air" sweet smelling with posies b/c they believed the Plague was borne on "foul air" and it helped to deal with the smell of death. "Ashes, ashes" referred to an imitation of sneezing in the end stages when there was internal bleeding to the point of death. Also they cremated the dead. Pretty gloomy, huh?

Maybe we should find another song?
Nah, he knows this one and we can make up another story.
