Here, then are the first of a series that we'll call, "Photos of Christmas Past."
This year was a super-geeky Christmas, and part of the geekiness was a set of plush microbes that we got for Zaya from ThinkGeek.
He received: Influenza A, Rhinovirus (the common cold), E-Coli, Streptococcus, a white blood cell and a red blood cell. (Then C'auntie S gave them some she had from a few years ago, including a louse, Gingivitis, Shigella and a few repeats.)
The kids love them, and they've already been snuggled with at night, flown around the house and invited to tea parties. E-Coli has been especially popular, because of all those great flagella. Here he is, enjoying his first flight and his first sip of tea.


I hope that I'm not the only mother with a picture of her daughter having a tea party with E-coli, but...probably...

Well, it is pretty funny. At least they won't be germaphobics.
