The green-eyed toddler.

Or, the title should be:  The green-eyed monster toddler. 

Pink eye is disgusting and I thought that's what it was supposed to be:  Pink eye.  Nope.  It's more like "green-eye."  I had no idea that eyes could excrete gooey, green stuff.  Ick.  The not so fun part was trying to put the drops into Austin's eyes because you'd think we were stabbing him in the eyes with a butter knife the way he put up a fight. 

There seems to be no vaccination against this.  Why?!?!  I swear there will be a vaccination that comes out, probably from Merck, for "possible magical unicorn bites" before a vaccine against pink eye.  Luckily, Neil and I did not get it.  Yet.  Every time I walk into Austin's little preschool I do not touch anything.  Using the sleeve of my shirt has been how I punch the time clock each day. 

P.S.  I didn't realize that putting Austin in more of a "school" than daycare would result in him having an entire 7 (week) days off during Christmastime.  What?!  Because I don't (and neither does Scooter) get 10 (week) days off.  Eeeek.
