I forgot to mention that we didn't have a tub upstairs where I rented-- but she fit into the big rectangular sink --age 2 We shared a house and the tub was in the downstairs bathroom -too much to explainabout timing.

I liked bathing my gilrs in sinks too.

I had a fan/heater unit in the ceiling with a little hand held faucet....  I'd get up and turn on the heater then crawl back in bed till it was warmy warmy.

My first child was born in the fall.... so by winter that heater toasted up the bathroom nicely and I really really do miss all the little rituals of nurturing babies.

Maybe I need to get a little......



dog.....



or......


something, lol?

::sigh:: 


Sink sized... dog, lol.



I could baby it for years, while my children snuck.....


and grew up......


 during my distraction; )

Hello Lighter-

I have never used a neti pot, but I have used a large pot of steaming hot water with herbs (chamomile, or basil, etc).  You place the pot on a table  , cover your head with a towel so the steam doesn't escape , bend over the pot and just breathe in for a bit. It is a gentle way to loosen any clogs, and is also salutary for the complexion, especially if you spritz your face with ice cold water afterward. Another gentle method is a steam sauna with eucalyptus - the toxins are loosened and depart, and you will glow!

Love,

Changing

Update on netti pot.

Spout missing but still providing a servive in master closet by providing water for iron.

I found the spout so if I happen to locate glue.... I'll fix it.

My 5yo has been sick for weeks.... green snotty congestion in her lungs and nose.

She goes in and out of having a fever too. 

Her whole class has had troubles, teacher out all last week with influenza.

::thinking about washing her out with Ocean  Nasal Spray::

She lets me put the Zicam in.... poor little dear.
