I work @ a pediatrician's office, and you're right, it is normal, although not the best thing in the world, for kids to get sick more often than not. We have "regulars" that we see all the time because they're in daycare, or they're child # 5 or something. I see that viruses/other illnesses go around more frequently in families that keep passing it back and forth, especially in larger families. Just make sure they're taking their vitamins (whether they be drops or tabs), and their diet is good, and it should reduce the number of your visits.

AND HAND WASHING! DON'T FORGET THAT! I've only been sick 2 times while working there, all due to the enormous amount of hand washing we do.
