At the beginning of last month, we saw a case of scarlatina at the home. I wasn't quite sure what that meant, until I was informed that scarlatina means scarlet fever. Isn't that something that last happened during the 1800s in Europe? Apparently not. Somehow one of our babies caught it, and quickly spread it to just about every other peanut in the baby house. Usually the clinic staff is able to take care of a sick child for the night. Yet, seeing how there was constantly a handful of babies staying at the clinic, a few of us were asked to do night watch. I eagerly jumped on board.
So what did I do to entertain a handful of kiddos while locked up inside all day? Lots of things! We watched The Little Mermaid at least five times, made Santa masks, held a paper airplane competition, had nightly story time, and just had all around fun. Even though I was masked and at-risk, the little moments within that clinic like seeing them catch their first sunrise EVER (above) truly made it a beautiful experience.
