i know a lot of you are already in on the no cow's milk lifestyle, but just to reiterate, and if brooks wants to elaborate (because he probably reads our blogs all the time...) here's a thought:
we're sick. colds really, runny noses, headaches, coughs. i took cassie in on thursday because her cough was so bad and i wanted to make sure it wasn't something terrible. she was tested for strep and it came back negative. we went again on tuesday for her two year check-up, and she checked out fine. just a cold, that she shared with all of us. my favorite part about taking the kids to the doctor when they're sick is knowing that he's not going to tell me they have an ear infection. brooks says that it's the milk in children's diets that causes ear infections, and the extreme cases where they have to have tubes put in.
i definitely get a weird feeling from the nurses at the office when i tell them she doesn't drink milk AT ALL, but when the doctor comes in he has no problem with it. my kids are growing, they're healthy for the most part, and they've never had ear infections. i'm pleased.
plus, water is so much cheaper.
here's an article if you're interested. my favorite thought: "the nutrients in cow's milk are excessive for human beings."

Wow, I had ear infections all the time as a little one. Who knew.
My kiddos don't drink milk either.
thanks for the tip now I don't have to worry about it either. hope you are all well VERY SOON. WE MISS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, that's odd. The four franz kids drank milk all the time and they were pretty healthy. Dubious science...
I only drink milk straight from the utter. So I'm fine too!
