Bottles and Hand Sanitizer

One of my bosses pointed this BPA-Free Water Bottle out to me today and also told me about a couple of websites where you can buy BPA-Free baby bottles.

Although I'm not usually the kind of person that thinks much about that kind of stuff, these baby bottles are actually really cool and completely safe, where it's possible that a lot of plastic bottles might not be (even though I will continue to drink out of polycarbonate every day).

I don't want to be a crazy parent that worries about every single little thing but, let's be honest, that's just the kind of person I am and I probably will. But I vow to never, ever, not in a million years carry a huge thing of hand sanitizer around with me and make people put it on before they touch my child. Unless you're horribly sick with a cold or the flu, that crosses a line I refuse to cross.

The only person I would consider making put on hand sanitizer before they hold AshCo is my husband because I've watched him wash his hands and he does not sing "Happy Birthday" twice. I've watched many shows on the Discovery Channel that say you should wash your hands long enough to sing "Happy Birthday" twice, which I always do and which is most likely the reason I constantly have the song in my head. (Don't worry; I won't actually make EJ put hand sanitizer on because I'm pretty sure I'm one of maybe six people in the world that actually does sing "Happy Birthday" twice while I wash my hands, but you can pretty much bet that I will spend the rest of my life trying to get him to wash his hands longer).

The few times I have forced EJ to sing while he washes his hands, he sings it as fast as he can, which kind of defeats the purpose.
