Past eight months and no hand, foot, or mouth disease (but a bit more sleep).

We were on high alert this past week because Elsy was exposed to HFMD. She was exposed to it when Maggie took her to visit her cousin. They didn't realize that their baby had a fever until after Elsy had already put copious numbers of items into her mouth at their house so we decided to play it safe and refrained from going out to too many places while we waited for any symptoms to show up.

So far so good. Apparently the incubation time is 3-6 days so I think we are in the clear.

We also replaced our mattress. It was definitely not as comfortable as we needed it to be. We got a couple of twins to tide us over and figure out which model we liked better. So far I think the thicker one is the winner. (Personally I didn't notice too much of a difference but it has only been a few days on the thicker mattress.)

Oh, also Elsy can kind of crawl backwards now.

Gotta start clearing the floors..

This was in contrast to the infrequent visits to our old neighborhood when I was a child. In addition, we were too poor to really enjoy a cone of soft ice cream when it did show up so I never built up that sense of tradition that others would share with their children. As suck, when the truck does drive by, I don't rush out to grab a cone for my kids. Also, the pandemic does not help either. Still, maybe one day this summer we will indulge our kids. Maybe. Oh, but that was beside the point. Today I heard the ringing of a bell. This was not the sound I'm used to for an ice cream truck so I decided to investigate with Serena. As the truck drive by, I wondered to myself how such a small truck could be used to sell ice cream much less any kind of food. But then it dawned on me: this was not a food tru

We were planning on going to the beach this morning but our plans got derailed when Serena stomped on Elsy's face and we had to wait for the bleeding to stop. It took so long that there was a chance we needed to go to the hospital. In the end, we thought it too risky to leave the house this morning lest the gusher started again, and so we set up the water table at home instead.

So it seems as if the link I had to the Polynesian Cultural Centre was flagged as a bad site. I double checked the link and, yup, I got a warning when I tried to visit it. I double checked if the link was changed and no, the search and Wikipedia still point to the same page so.. I just removed the link. We will see how the repost goes.
