Ears

No pictures just yet today. Little Kate has not been so photogenic. A side effect of being sick, though she is doing a lot better.

So, you know the saying, "Did you wash behind your ears?" I used to think it was a funny thing to ask. After all, while you are washing your hair, doesn't the area behind your ears get clean at the same time?

And that logic may be true. But when you are a small child, you aren't shampooing your hair every day. And apparently, some kids like to hide food behind their ears. For their mommies to find a day or two later, once it has crusted on and begun to cause a small amount of skin irritation.

Chalk it up to a new mom learning experience. (Similar to finding the toe jam when she was really little.) I now know the cleaning up after meal checklist is, at minimum, face, hands and EARS!

Glad to hear Kate is doing better. I went thru the behind the ear thing too, tho much earlier with you. I even taught baby care classes, and still missed behind your ears. When I found it, I felt SO bad. But you survived and Kate will too.....

Was it something green that she ate, so you thought for a split second she was moldy?
