On Saturday night, Emmett began complaining of his mouth hurting. When I checked it out for him, I found a rather large mouth sore on the inside of his lip. This may end up being nothing more than a random cold sore but Emmett’s never had random cold sores. When these painful little things show …

I drank 72 ounces of water today. Is that enough?
This is totally random but has been the topic of debate between my wife and I. Feel free to weigh in and share your experience or knowledge.
