Hairiest man in the world

I am feeling ill, very very ill, i just a a sandwich for breakfast and i sprinkled some rock sea salt into it, URG bad bad idea, i can still taste the crunch URGGGggggg.
Ok so i have been having a blog vacation for a while as basically CutyBaby has been a bit sick with a bad cold/bug. It all started with some random sneezing, then in the night she woke up at 2am and was somewhat delerious with fever as she started talking about cupcakes (i taught her that) and then started listing all the words she knew- it was a long night!! Then the next day she seemed ok. We found out that Almost Dentist Hubby passed the big exam, yay! So he is now Dentist Hubby (in theory) in practise he is Oral Surgeon Hubby, ANYWAY the next day we decided to celebrate and went to a nearby coastal location. It was nice to see the sea, and have a walk along the beach, it was also nice that it was so quiet, just alot of nice old couple sitting outside their beach huts. But then through the course of the day Cuty Baby got worse and in the end we went home early, she had a fever of 41 oh no! After a good long sleep i thought she would be fine the next day, but it was even worse. She had about 6 tantrums, continuous crying, no food, no milk, and in the end i had to read her the Bristol Zoo and Gardens visitor guide book (dont ask) about 6 times till she fell asleep!!!! Anyway she is getting better now, but it is definatly no fun having flu-ey baby.

Speaking of documentaries i saw a good one last night, 'The Worlds Hairiest Man' on C4, the link is here, http://www.channel4.com/science/microsites/T/the_worlds_and_me/index.html
i was interested in this as recently on the news i saw a photo of a little baby born with a rare condition called Werewolf syndrome. They showed a family in mexico that had many boys suffering from this condition and the boys were actually performing in the circus and earning a lot of money. The worst was an 18m old boy with a face full of hair who was also in the circus. This was a bit shocking as Cuty Baby is the same age, its difficult to imagine 'exploiting' your childs 'defect' in such a public manner to make money. I know many parents around the world have children born with many strange conditions and they certainly do not resort to displaying them in a circus. But have we moved on from the freak shows of the past? I wondered what was this documentary then if not a freakshow? I guess its just that, a documentary which we are watching privately in our home, and learning about a condition that we maybe did not know about before, and I for one realised that whilst these boys have a lot of hair, they are just normal people. I am glad we have moved on from Freakshows in this countries, and circus's are just for entertainment or true skills and talents, not unfortunate defects.
