The 2 year (old) itch

It was bound to happen. We only narrowly escaped it last year. Number 2 has chicken pox. And, as it happens, one of about 6 off from his room in nursery!

He's being very stoic, generally, although he's obviously seriously itchy, mainly because he's one big spot. He can't stand still at the best of times and he's even worse at the moment. So much so that he wriggled and fell into the corner of the doctor's desk on Thursday when we went to the GPs to get it confirmed. Think she was more shocked and perturbed than he was!

He is nothing if not a trouper and we feel very proud of him - I don't know if I could smile like this if I was in the pickle he's found himself.

And his face isn't as bad as the rest of him......
