The Starter House

Whatever. We give up. It's all about the baby now. And sometimes about the dogs. But mostly about the baby. (Once upon a time stuff: "After 2 1/2 years in our house and myriad renovations planned (and even some accomplished), it's time to start keeping track. And, if perhaps we're feeling motivated and if time allows, this will serve as a kitchen/garden journal as well. Here's to future bouts of nostalgia, poring over old photos, and keeping an eye out for botulism.")

Catching up VI: Giant Baby goes technicolor

Babycakes got a raging case of thrush that wasn't entirely responsive to nystatin. We therefore went old school and found some gentian violet, only available at one pharmacy in town. This is some potent stuff; a little q-tip makes for an enormous explosion of color. (It also worked amazingly well.) Sadly, I restrained myself from applying some quite unnecessarily to her ears and nostrils. Next time.
