Fall. Kids go back to school, the leaves start to change, and everyone settles into routine.
But going back to school, or having a child start daycare is not all it’s cracked up to be. In fact, perhaps you find yourself with small children fearful of this time of year because it signals the dreaded cold and flu season (which includes much more than cold and flu btw). Find yourself looking up childhood virus symptoms on the internet? What is that rash? Will it be whooping cough, scarlet fever, fand-foot-and mouth disease? Spoiler alert: they will catch all the things, many things you will also catch yourself and *hopefully* if you have multiple kids they get it together as opposed to back to back.
