Chicken Pox

Yup, we got them. 

Chicken Pox.

Not the end of the world, but certainly a big inconvenience.

Even though we have had the vaccine and typically it's a late winter/early spring virus, we still managed to contract it.  My kids are overachievers like that.

So far only Carter has it and all his spots have scabbed over today so we should be able to leave our quarantine tomorrow.  I just really hope Dawson dosen't get it.

Very easily the hardest hour of my life:  trying to entertain three kids in the doctor's office for an hour while we waited.  There was nothing in the exam room for the kids to play with. I had very little in my diaper bag because I really didn't think it would take that long.  Plus I had to wake Carter and Ava up out of bed to get there so they were cranky and hungry.

Although we all know who the real star is.

Last week before he broke out, Carter went to his very first dental appointment.  He did wonderfully.  Of course, it helped that our dentist's office has cable TV for everyone to watch while they get their teeth cleaned.  He zoned out watching Word World.  They also have massaging dental chairs!  I must say, I'm looking forward to getting my teeth cleaned in January, it almost felt like a little relaxing vacation!
