I tried to tell that to my best friend (a germaphobic) but she wouldn't listen. When her little girl started interacting with other kids at a day school a couple days a week, she got sick constantly. She's a LITTLE bit better with this second baby but still goes overboard (IMO) on the germ stuff at home. Kids are kids and need to be exposed...... just as puppies do (after their shots).
So glad your baby knows the joys of the outdoors now!!
