Ten days after Ben started out with Chicken Pox, Aaron started coming out in a few little spots too!  We were hoping he was going to avoid it and maybe be immune, but on the other hand we are glad he caught it and it is now over with.

Poor Aaron was absolutely pickled!  Head to toe, in his ears, mouth, nose as well as really badly in his nappy region.  He was quite poorly with it too, had a very high temperature and generally very sleepy and not himself.  Aaron was happiest in the bath, which was nice and cool and I put porridge oats in the water (in a sock) which helped with the itching.  We also used the vira soothe gel that we had for Ben.  Luckily Aaron didn’t scratch too much and his spots cleared quite nicely, though he still has a few that haven’t quite faded yet.

The best part about Aaron having Chicken Pox, we encouraged him to start using the potty and he did really well!
