library mom: systematically cataloging all aspects of raising two babies at the same time

Tissues for babies?

The whole family has caught a cold. Peanut Jr caught it first, with a stuff/runny nose. Gave it to Peanut Sr, who sneezes out these megasnots and looks all glassy-eyed. She couldn't sleep so we put her in bed with us 2 nights ago, propped up so she could breathe. Then Lisher and I woke up with sore throats and general aches. This is how these things get passed around. I am trying (unsuccessfully) to keep their toys separated so we don't get caught in a never-ending cycle of sick.
