I have become a little concerned about the amount of germs that my kids come into contact with when they are at the doctor's office, especially the waiting room toys. Although it is great to have something to occupy my kids while we wait, I am overzealous about sanitizing. I can't walk by a bottle of hand sanitizer without pumping it four times: once for my hands, then once of each of the kids, then once for my hands again (I mean I just touched Lily & Nolan's hands). Yep, its too the point that Lily and Nolan ask for it when they see a hand sanitizer station. And my concern about germs: I think to myself, when was the last time these toys have been sanitized, really? However yesterday while in the Pediatric Clinic waiting room at U of M, I saw with my own eyes a young lady come and wipe down and sanitize all their toys. It brought much relief to my pacing mind about germs, because it was a large waiting room with many kids and lots of toys. So give it up to U of M and their clean waiting room toys.
Am I obsessive? Maybe, BUT I know that I am doing all I can to prevent any unnecessary germs entering my babies' bodies.
