First case of Chicken Pox



















Oh dear, we have only been back at school for 3 weeks, and already the chicken pox is alive and spreading throughout  the school. Only 3 days into the school year, a boy from Alexander's class got his first spots. 

Last night Alexander had a few spots, today a few more! So, the week off school for him, and I am assuming Cameron will get them in about 2 weeks time. This is Alexander's first day at home, and at 10.30am he tells me "I am bored!"...ohh, it is going to be a long week! 

Thank goodness for UK Sky Cable TV. He watched Cat in The Hat after lunch.  This is a photo of Alexander on Puffing Billy back in August. Since then, he has lost the top 2 teeth! Very gappy indeed. It seemed cruel to take a photo of him when he is not feeling well.

I sent Cameron into school with a note for Alexander's teacher to ask for some work...or some reader books..or anything! Phil managed to get some German equivalent of Calamine lotion, and I have been painting his body with this! Hopefully it will help dry them out and stop the itching.
