Off on holiday - with an extra passenger.

Oscar has chickenpox. The spots came out last night - he's been quite grumpy and feverish for a few days - I thought he was cutting another tooth...but little spots popped out last night - all over his scalp and behind his ears.

This morning there are more....

We've decided to still go on holiday - he's only contagious if you touch him or if he coughs on you - so we'll avoid other children and pregnant women. It may be a nightmare - we have a 6 hour drive today - but hopefully he'll sleep a bit more...

I wanted him to get chickenpox - to get it out of the way -but not on holiday.... Anyway - we'll see how it goes - if he's really unhappy we'll come home again... So hopefully I'll speak to you all next Saturday....
