I can't believe how many people tell us, "Oh, it's good for them to get sick - it builds their immune systems!" Except that once we do get sick it suddenly becomes much more difficult to stay well for a while. Which tells me something is WEAKENED, not STRENGTHENED.

We're getting some good cod liver oil for everyone this year. Get in some good Vitamin D, Vitamin A and Omega 3s. And probiotics. Get everyones' bodies as strong as possible. Much better than getting sick all the time and trying to console ourselves that it's making us stronger while we never have energy to do anything...
