proper coughing...

Okay w/ all the flu talk. I feel really dumb that I did not learn this sooner but this year we learned you are suppose to cough into your elbow.  You always teach cover your mouth w/ your hand then you cough and spread the germs but if you cough into your elbow.

I read this online earlier this year when dd #1 had the flu and so I just figured I would throw it out there since I did not know but it seemed everyone else did. We have now taught dd#1 to cough into her elbow. Now if she would only do it all the time..

They tell the kids at school to cough into their elbow.  Problem is, a 7 year old can't exactly aim.  So Jakob ends up putting his arm over his eyes and just coughing out into the air.

We're working on that

and sneeze!  that is if you do not have a tissue or towel etc on you.  Abby learned that from Sid the Science Kid and is always reminding me.

Yeah, DD showed me that. Her pre-school teacher tells all the kids that.
