If you dont want to wash your hands, then dont touch our baby!!

I usually find that people are very good about keeping their hands clean and not touching or kissing L's hands and face. But then I also find that some people have no sense at all when it comes to this.

Nothing makes us cringe more than someone kneeling down and kissing his hands, or even just touching his hands. His hands are always in his mouth right now and whatver is on their hands goes right in his mouth... You would never shake someones hand and then stick your fingers in your mouth and suck on them, would you?? Being his parents we have to watch out for these things since he is not able to himself.

We have people wash their hands before touching L and now we are asking them not to touch his hands and face, also. The more we read about childhood illnesses and even just cold/flus, we dont want people passing on any more germs then what I know he will unavoidably be exposed to. Their little immune systems are just not strong enough for that kind of onslaught.

I hate that these things even have to be said to people. I just wish they had enough common sense to know better. Usually its not a problem, but you always get those few.

I find so often now people try to kiss his hands and it drives me crazy... just crazy. Since when is it ok to go around kissing peoples hands first of all. No one would ever do that to another adult but they think babies are fair game.

Anyway, gosh, that turned into quite a little rant. :-) I always hope that people wandering around online will read random little posts like this and learn from it. Dont touch or kiss anyones babies' face or hands! Parents dont like it!

:-D (Im only smiling to make this post appear to be polite, when actually its not meant to be at all. :-) lol
