Germs

As a child I played in the dirt, ate a worm or two, didn't wash my hands before dinner on multiple occasions and all organic wasn't an option. Neither was hand sanitizer. As a result, not only am I alive but I have to say, I get sick very rarely. There comes a time in a mothers life when I feel like you have to choose whether you're going to be "that mom" who carries around GermX and Lysol wipes or the mom who lets people hold her kid, even if they haven't UV sanitized their hands first. Your child is going to get sick and while its awful and heartbreaking, penicillin and Tylenol do wonders. Let your kid play and be less worried about what they touch and be more concerned about their social skills and developing a non-fearful, fun loving dirt licking kid!
