So the main reason for our lack of posts and communication over the past month has been Liam's big battle with Chicken Pox. Although he had a very mild case just before his second birthday, his daycare had a major epidemic from Easter. He was one of the last of about 24 kids in his group to get it and boy was it a bad one. He had them everywhere- ears, mouth, body, scalp. Poor wee thing was covered. I took some pictures to document the mess.
He was pretty miserable with them. I made him some 'special bath's of ground oatmeal to help soothe and dry out the spots. He had to stay out of daycare for a week and was pretty much
guaranteed for 2/3 weeks. The spots have all pretty much cleared up, but he has a few marks on his torso and face. I'm definitely going to petition for the introduction of the vaccine as part of the childhood routine vaccination programme over here. It was so hard to watch him suffer like this.

That looks terrible, poor baby cakes. I know how he feels I got it twice too! It is no fun, and Sammy suffered right after his birthday and we had to cancel his party. Glad he is mended.
