Eating candy off the ground

Aria's current best friend is named Daphne.  They went swimming together at the pool in Daphne's apartment complex.  Aria is becoming a confident swimmer as long as 1) she has her trusty floaties on, and 2) mommy is close by.  Zade is also getting a lot more comfortable in the water and will jump to me in the water.  

Unfortunately the happy looks in these photos didn't last.  Zade picked up a piece of candy while we were walking through a parking lot and started eating it.  We told him to spit it out, but he refused.  Apparently is was too delicious.  We warned him that he'd probably get sick, and lo and behold, shortly thereafter he got sick.  That may simply have been a coincidence, but either way, he ended up with an ear infection and pink eye.  It was so bad that when he woke up in the morning, his eyes were swollen and glued shut.  At the same time Aria came down with a virus, which knocked out her energy, and shortly thereafter she contracted pink eye.  After getting medicine from the doctor, plenty of sleep, and an exorbitant amount of cartoons, they're both doing much better.

Sorry, but this made me laugh. What a great lesson Zade learned, coincidence or not. Sorry both kids ended up sick though. That is never fun. Cartoons are the best medicine at our house too.
