When you have a new baby, you are extra careful to keep him away from large crowds of people who could get him sick. You wait weeks before taking him to church. When you have an older sibling however, they freely bring those germs home to you.

So it was this week when Raine brought home the latest strain of nursery cooties. Her nose started running Tuesday morning. She promptly sneezed all over Carter’s face. Friday morning Carter woke up congested. And so you have it . . . Carter’s first cold.

Today, Raine wanted to play with stickers. Guess where all her stickers ended up . . . yep, on Carter’s belly.

And yes, she stole his “bankie” too.
