Sick Baby Boy

My husband took the kids to the doctor today, mostly because Alex has some crusty eyes. It turns out the crust in Alex's eyes is actually snot that backed up from his sinus cavity. Ew! Also, he has an infection and both ears and a completely unrelated yeast infection on his little boy parts. Unfortunately he just got the yeast infection today, which means we're going to have to have a little talk with the people at his day care. Of course, I'm so fed up with them anyway, we're going to try to find an alternate day care for the kids.
