Our little nose picker was trying to tell us something......that his nose hurt :( Hunter is under the weather again :( He came home from day care today with a 102 degree temp and various other problems, so off we went to the Dr. and between teething and a cold, the poor little guy is feeling miserable. Thankfully, he does not have an ear infection yet, we hope we caught it early enough! You know Hunter is sick when he sits with you and watches a few minutes of his videos, and so far the sleeping isn't going to well, when he was little we could use the swing....now we are the swing :( But, yesterday Hunter had a great day with Great Grandma & Grandpa while I was at my work meeting. He showed them all his fancy new footwork, and how he can behave (he actually stopped his behavior when they told him No) so I realize all of my efforts haven't gone in one ear and out the other, they are catching on. Grandpa and Grandma, Thank you for all the help!

Our green for the day is disturbing.......Formaldehyde.
Apparently Formaldehyde is not just used for embalming....it is also used in a number of beauty products and other things like carpet and furniture. Not only is this scary to think about but it is also believed to be a possible carcinogen by the EPA. There are some fancy terms to disguise the fact this is in some products but when I looked at my nail polish....it wasn't even hidden in a fancy term, it said formaldehyde. My poor mom! These names break down into or release formaldehyde......Diasolidinyl urea.......DMDM hydantoin........Imidazolidinyl.........and.........Quaternium - 15. The part that is even more frightening is that they are not 100% sure that this can be cleaned and broken down in the water treatment process, therefore we may be digesting it!!!!
