Goes to preschool once, gets sick immediately 🙄😷🤧 With the return of back-to-school season comes the inevitable season of rampant sicknesses that our children bring home. Their first year out of the house at preschool or daycare we can expect our children to get sick ~12 times! Parenting a sick kid is tough but parenting sick kids when you’re also sick yourself is extra exhausting. • We always used to get a big bowl of pho when we had a cold - something about that hot broth and an early bedtime felt healing but we no longer get the luxury of uninterrupted sleep now that we have kids (Tom slept on Hennie’s floor last night!) so we might need to tap into some stronger remedies. • I need your help building an arsenal of ideas both preventative and combative - please share your best safeguards against sickness and your best cold and flu remedies for both kids and adults below! Do essential oils actually work? Do people still use Vick’s VapoRub? Which remedies are safe for kids? Is it too late to get the flu shot (and does it actually work?). Veteran parents please spill your secrets below, for all our sakes! 🙏🏼🤧😷 • • • #coldandfluseason #preschoolproblems #firstdayofpreschool #coldandflu #sickkids #coldremedies #fluremedies #preschool

Hennie’s first day of preschool and in a single hour she managed to paint, do playdough, play with dinosaurs in a sandbox, sit in a real boat, breastfeed a doll (never been more proud tbh), haul sand with trucks, scoop BLUE water in a water table, listen to a story, and sing songs. I think she’s gonna love preschool! Maybe next time she won’t rock up in her pyjama top fresh outta bed like a college senior though🤘🏼 • • • @gatenm123 #strangerthings #noonansyndrome #noonansyndromeawareness #dustinhendersoncosplay #dustinhenderson #firstdayofschool #toddlerootd #firstdayofpreschool #preschool #letterboards #letterboardmom #thatwinedoor

What has been your favourite age with your kids? Hennie will be three in November and we think this is the absolute best age so far! • She has really great comedic timing and is super hilarious. She has surprising empathy for a toddler and is very in tune with the feelings of others - if I’m having a bad day and tell her I’m upset she says “mummy, mummy, mummy” and pulls my face down to her face and whisper-sings Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star into as she gazes very intimately into my eyes (afterward she says “mummy happy now!”) She squeezes her brother too tightly and kisses us on the mouth too wetly and wants us to play with her every minute of every day. She is very against the idea of getting a pet and constantly wants to help to the point of annoyance and insists on doing “yo-ya” (yoga) every day. When Tom went into her bedroom this morning to get her up at 9am she looked him dead in the eye and rolled over and went back to sleep; he shut the door and said “guess she’s having a lie-in today 🤷🏼‍♀️ As we all know, every part of childhood and parenthood is just a phase so we’re clinging to this sweet, fun phase with everything we’ve got.

On a scale of one to ten, how much does my husband hate my guts right now? ⚽️⚽️⚽️ #firstdayofschool #thatwinedoor
