Chicken Pox - Day 4

At last, our little man is beginning to feel better. Tears this morning because of the spot on his lower eye lid but only had a dose of medicine at breakfast and at bedtime.

Into Chicken Pox Day 3

Poor little mite. Ben woke up this morning in so much pain with his eye. Today has been a sofa day watching films and playing with lego.

Then, James had his second batch of milk teeth extracted. Luckily, only two this time as one of his lower ones had fallen out.

The Day family trait of teeth seems to have continued as the dentist had a nightmare getting to get it out- the root was nearly as long as an adult tooth!

To finish off today, we have Robert's Christmas Carol Concert, minus Daddy and Ben.  Robert's upset that yet again he hasn't got a speaking part, but looking forward to it anyway.

Chicken Pox - Morning of Day 2

After receiving loads of advice on Facebook, I raided the kitchen cupboards and found some bicarbonate of soda.

After a bath in it then painting paste of it all over, all Ben was worried about was whether it would turn him into a cake!

Pox is in the House

So, after a week of general sniffles, Ben awoke on Friday morning with a proper seal bark, croup type cough. Over the weekend, he wasn't too bad so assumed he'd be back at nursery in Monday but by Sunday, it was obvious this wasn't going to happen as the little red blisters of chicken pox erupted.

Such a brave little boy, even with a spot on the inside of his lower right eye lid.

So far, he's had calamine cream on the spots on his body, and anti-histamine oral medicine to help with the itch.

Let's hope he fights this off as quickly as everything else he's ever caught and if Katie's going to get it, she gets the first spots today or tomorrow so we can her over the worst by Christmas.

Beautiful Sleepy Baby

Despite another horrid cold, Katie is finally snoozing. Got to love her and just want to cuddle!
