You know your kids are old when...

You can't remember which of the basic rash diseases they've had. Casper has blotchy red cheeks today, and I'm trying to recall if she ever had Fifth Disease. I am sure she's had Roseola, and I think hand foot and mouth. Dillo's only has one serious rash, on his first birthday, and it wasn't defineably any of the Classic Six. His cheeks are starting to come on red but he has such a Celtic complexion it could just be from the couple of hours spent playing outside.

Well, we'll see what develops. I just hope Casper's not having a histamine reaction, which might mean she's developing a sensitivity to pistachios, which she adores and ate in large numbers last night.

Dillo, for his part, is ill with Five Year Old Entitlement Syndrome, for which the only know cure is Time and Maturity. He has taken to throwing a fit if we don't do what he wants, or buy him what he wants, instantly. And we don;t, obviously. The fits are very tedious, and also loud.

Oh thank you, I guess it must be a valid phase. Squeaky has been absolutely horrible to live with for the past month or two, arguing and raging about EVERYTHING. He's always had a quick temper, but usually he recovers quickly when you smile or hug him. Now it is all ANGER all the time, and he is refusing hugs. I don't remember Chuckles having a specific phase like this.
