Alex's pet germ

The month of March was a sickly one for us. We ended up talking a lot about germs and why it was important not to share sippy cups and what makes us sick and so on. Apparently more of our "germ" talk stuck with Alex than I realized.


This is his pet germ. He's petting it.


If you're very careful, you can hold it this way. Now, in this picture, it may look to you like it's really just a tiny ball of wadded up toilet paper. Please don't believe that. This, my friends, is a GERM. And a treasured pet germ, at that.


And he loved it.



At least until he lost it.
