One important lesson children nowadays have to learn is that germs are everywhere. While shielding your baby from them is virtually impossible when it is trying to lick everything in sight including the dustiest cat ever to roam a city apartment we decided to go the opposite way and let Aurora embrace the existence of viruses, bacteria and germs in general. Now that doesn´t mean I give her dish-wash water to drink along with her lunch of a moldy carrot. It simply means we got her a stuffed animal of the plush microbes selection (on sale for example at thinkgeek.com). There is a mindbogglingly large choice, from sore throat (one of my favorites) over hepatitis and chicken pocks to flesh eating bacteria. We decided for beaver fever because it also teaches her a little bit about her Canadian heritage which is: don´t swim and swallow - in beaver feces infested lakes or rivers that is. Plus we thought she would like the tassels.
