That was kind of funny. ;)
My son's been in day care since he was 3 months old, so he built up his immunity by being sick quite often for the first 2 years of his life (guilt trip). His fevers were so high too, and I've had to put him in a bathtub of lukewarm water in the middle of the night a few times when it got so high it couldn't wait for tylenol.
People that work at hospitals and schools must build up immunities pretty quickly, or they wouldn't be able to be at work all the time.
I know when I became a parent, I never caught any of my son's colds. I think somehow parents are immune to their kids' germs.lol It slowed down for him gradually over the years, but he probably didn't quit getting sick until about the 10th grade. He did get mono in high school..By being around them MORE often, you might just become immune to them!
