This actually happened a couple weeks ago..but thought I'd share.
B had Hand Foot and Mouth Disease (for the second time) so I whisked him off to the Doctor. Now I know that there's not anything that can really be done for HFM other than Ibuprofen and rest, but it just sounds SO bad. He seems a bit more prone to getting it than others because he constantly has his hands in his mouth. Not only does he touch everything, but he also has a mild case of Pica and randomly eats little things he finds on the ground. No matter how clean your house is, it will never be free of little pieces of dirt. Not to mention that the previous weekend we'd been at 2 playgrounds, church and the grocery store. And of course at the store he insists on sitting in the cart that has the car attached to it. Seriously, that is a pit of yuckiness, but it if helps us get through the store quicker without a tantrum, then we'll brave the germs.
Anyway, back to the original story....
I was busy paying B's copay for the visit and chatting for a few minutes with the receptionist. B was happily sitting in the sick side of the waiting room looking at the fish tank. Or so I thought.. I turned in his direction just to make sure he was still there when I realized that his shoes were now off and sitting in the middle of the floor. Something made me do a double take though..I turned around to see that not only were his shoes off, but so were his shorts AND his pull up. He was happily sitting naked from the waist down in the chair "entertaining himself". Not being a boy, I do not get the fascination with that. Thankfully he was alone in the lobby. There was a teenage girl there with her father, but the fish tank kept him from view.
It's things like this that keep our lives interesting. You never know what exactly will happen when you go out with B!
