Chickenpox

Chickenpox has struck the junior members of the family - even stuffed animals have been affected!

To begin with we weren't sure that it was the dreaded pox, but then the day afterwards (having sent him to school) there was no denying it as the spots got bigger and more like spirit levels.

 Tristan was absolutely fine with it (as long as he got regular films). This lulled us into a false sense of security and made us think that it would be good if Samuel caught it too (cue sharing toothbrushes for a week!)

Sam had it when we were in France and really wasn't at all well and had millions of the things. It wasn't made any better by the pink skin staining medicine that the doctor gave us in France.

Sam got so used to our interest in his spots that the head-up position became his standard being photograph pose!
