    Playgrounds outside for some reason don’t scream GERMS like the ones in say Chuck E Cheese to me. I am of the mind that the rain and nice hot sun sterilize playgrounds. However, they are dirty and require a bath afterwards.

    But he’s so cute, you just have to let him play. ;) I know the feeling. IN fact my son shows me his dirty hands when he’s done playing. Ha.

    we went to the park 3 times yesterday…

    stella even picked up stuff and threw it away (papers and such - no…i didn’t let her pick up the cigarette butts)…because it was earth day!

    now that’s germ-y…but good…

    We get germy at the park every day that it’s nice enough. I tell myself I’m building up my toddler’s germ resistance. I even let him play in the sandbox at the park. Fresh air has to be good for kids, even if there are germs too, right?

    What a cute little monkey!

    Eh, germs only do so much damage. Germ-x rocks though. It makes me feel better even if we’re making a “supergerm”.

    LOL Well, germs aren’t all bad though…they help build the immune system. ;-)

    What I hate is when the equipment smells like pee…

    I’m like Karen that I can do the outside playgrounds, but have such a hard time with, say, the disgusting one at the mall! The kids ALWAYS seem to get sick after that one! Yep. Rain and sun. That’s a good sanitizer - as is Germ X. :-)
    One of the best feelings is watching all the dirt dissolve off of the girls in the tub after a long day at softball, riding bikes, and playground time. Ahhhh, bliss.

    Dude, I don’t even think about germs ever not even once associated with out door equipment in the 3+ years I’ve been parenting . My mind boggles at all the extra effort germ-o-phobes have to go through purelling and germ xing stuff.

    He’s adorable!

    That being said….EW. My girls can play AROUND the equipment, but not in or on. Thankfully I have the defense of “K can get up, but not down” on my side still!! *G*

    Hope you dropped him into a nice hot bath :D

    Oh yeah, I squirmed in my seat when I watched another child *lick* a clear plastic dome like that. If Cordy did that, I’d have to quarantine her.

    Yeah, I had to go up and rescue BusterBrown out of one of the hamster tunnels at Mickey D’s. I climbed up there, looked around, and vowed to hose us both down once we were out of there.

    Total. Silkwood. Shower.

    He is so freaking adorable! What a fantastic picture.

    And I always wipe mine off with Wet Ones whenever we leave anywhere - playgrounds, libraries, school, playdates, you name it. But to balance it out I never mop my floors. :)
