Sick Baby :(

I really like where Emily goes to daycare. The teachers seem to look out for her and the other kids there. But, I hate the fact the Emily brings home every little cold or other sickness. Last week, there was a case of Hands, Feet, and Mouth Disease going around the daycare. A family with three or four kids brought it there. The youngest one is a few weeks older than Emily and she caught it from him. I've never heard of it until now. The pediatrician told us it takes about 5-7 days to get over it and there is no cure for it. It is a virus that we just have to let it take its course. It sucks because the daycare called us yesterday and told us we had to come get Emily and she can't come back until it is all cleared up. So, Matt and I have been trying to figure out what to do this week. Matt's staying home with her until Wednesday and then I will stay home with her the rest of the week. This is when I wish we lived closer to family that could watch her when we are at work. I read in a book somewhere that it's almost good for them to be in daycare and get sick that way they can build up there immune systems. I don't know. I guess so, but she ends up giving it to us too. Luckily not this one.
