Hand Foot Mouth

So it started like any other Sunday morning. I got the kids up and dressed. We ate breakfast and started to head out the door. We had a couple extra minutes so I did an impromptu photo shoot and it was then that I noticed a single 'pimple' on Brooks chin. It's not uncommon for kids to get little pimples from the wetness that collects around their paci so I didn't think much of it. Hadley noticed it to and this was how our conversation went...

Hadley- What's that?

Me- It's a little pimple.

Hadley- It's so cu.... It's not cute.

We went to church as normal, brought food to the fire station to eat lunch and came home for naps. When he woke up from his nap he looked like this:

 It was obvious something else was going on. I had Aunt E come look and she thought he could have hand, foot, mouth. He had a couple spots in his diaper area, but none on his hands and feet. And no fever. So we weren't 100% on a diagnosis.
The next morning he woke up looking more like this:

so I took him into the doctor and sure enough... hand, foot, mouth... and an ear infection. Poor little guy! Spots popped up on his hands and feet and continued to get worse around his mouth and diaper area. Just what we needed the week before Christmas. Luckily, he must have had a mild case, because within 3 days his spots began to dissipate. Just in time to get together with friends and family for the holidays!
