Mumps, wow!
On that note, I know we're at that time of year when lots of folks are on vacation . I can host on Sunday, August 16, if people will be around. As we get closer to that day, people can let me know if they can make it -- if no one's around then, I'll put it off until September, since we're going away at the end of August.

MUMPS
Hi Moms, just wanted to share the news that a child in Sebastain's daycare was just diagnosed with mumps. (Just one more disease to add to their roster of sicknesses they've had at that facility this year!!)
Good news is that a spot opened up for Sebastian at the NOAA facility in Silver Spring! What great timing!

Interactions Learn & Play
Hi Totgroup Moms --
FYI Evan and I dropped in to Interactions the other day and as always, had a blast. For those who have been, you know it is a great place for your kids to play, the owners (Werner and Christina) are friendly and gracious, and it is a nice respite both from the heat of summer and our same-ol-same-ol toys. For those who have not been, check it out: they have ball pits, moon bounce, slides, trains, instruments, dress up clothes, art-crafts area, etc. etc. Kids love it!
As you know, we don't have any connection to IL&P or the owners, we are just fans of the play-oasis they have created. While we were there this past week, the owners mentioned it was slower than they expected this summer as many of us have our kids in camps and/or daycare.
Evan is in daycare everyday, but luckily, there are a few days each month when I can pick him up early and head over for some fun before the dinner hour. (I've seen Jessie and Gunnar there and Werner mentioned one day that we missed Elaine and Judah by a few minutes.) They are also open on Sat mornings.
Anyway, wanted to remind Moms/Dads/Grandparents/Nannies of this jewel of an indoor play area for our kids. For more info on hours, rates, directions, etc. go to www.interactionslearnandplay.net.
Finally, we may want to consider a Totgroup Play Session there one Saturday in Aug. Shawn

Another reason to get swabbed...
Unfortunately, I will be out of town this weekend, but I contemplated doing a swab by mail when I read a posting on our neighborhood listserve re: one of our neighbors, a man who looks to be younger than we are, who is also in urgent need of a bone marrow transplant. In any case, I'm pretty sure that once you register as a donor, you are in the registry for all needed recipients. This guy also needs someone with Eastern European ancestry.
Helping Someone's Son
Hi Moms,
I saw the below email posted on our listserv last week and again on the SSMoms listserv this week. It was the phrase "our son" that caught my eye and thought as a parent, the least I could do is get swabbed to potentially help someone's son (or husband, or father, etc. etc.)
I plan to go to Rockville on Sunday afternoon sometime after TotGroup to get swabbed. If anyone else is interested / available to join in, I would be happy to carpool!
URGENT APPEAL: Please come this Sunday, July 26, 2009 to the JCC of Greater Washington, 6125 Montrose Rd., Rockville, Md., 10:00am - 4:00pm and register to be a bone marrow donor. This is an emergency. Our son, Jonathan, is in urgent need of a bone marrow transplant, and there are currently NO matches on the international registry. Potential donors must be between the ages of 18 - 55 and in good general health to register. We need a large turn out in order to find the one perfect match that can save his life. Jonathan, is of European Jewish descent, and there is a higher likelihood that his match will have the same ethnicity, but it can be anyone. The test is a simple swab of the cheek. SWAB A CHEEK = SAVE A LIFE. Thank you for your kind assistance, Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Haupt. “To save one life is as if you have saved the world.” — the Talmud
