Still boiling

Today we're still under the boil water advisory. Which is more of a pain than you'd think. It's amazing how much of a difference not having safe tap water makes. (Apparently there was a loss of line pressure somewhere, meaning a check valve may have allowed some backflow through the water lines... kind of like when your plumbing backs up. Initial tests have proven it's fine but the final test culture won't be complete until tomorrow morning.) For Liam in particular, it's been a tough pill to swallow when it comes to brushing his teeth, which is still one of his very favourite activities... mostly I think because he likes to play with the taps while sitting on the bathroom counter next to them. Tonight he was allowed to play with the taps, but not stick his toothbrush underneath, which caused an enormous deal of angst and many tears. He had to make do with this bottle of water instead... just not the same.
