How hilarious that Turken has earned more money with his journal than you have in four years with your blog. I feel your pain girl!!! Hey, as a former dental hygienist have you taken Turken to see a dentist about the ring around his mouth? It could be a fungal infection that might need to be treated with nystatin cream. Crazy I know but it's pretty common when kids lick their dry lips in the cold weather.Just Keepin It Real, Folks!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02691470259291755580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-75441611543184099852015-02-26T04:46:20.677-05:002015-02-26T04:46:20.677-05:00I thought the ring round Turken's mouth was be...I thought the ring round Turken's mouth was because he'd been eating or drinking something red.
