Well we officially have came down with the chicken pox. I could not believe that my daughter, September, has them. She had a headache Friday and by Saturday afternoon she started having a few spots on her collar bone. We thought they were bug bites at first but then they started popping up everywhere. She is on day two of the break-out phase and is feeling pretty itchy. I bought some Aveeno Oatmeal Bath and Calamine Lotion which seems to be soothing most of the unpleasantness. I hope that Derek and Wynter come down with it here in the next couple days so we can just be done with it.
It is quite ironic that when I new we were exposed, two other times in the past, we never came down with them. However, this time I have no clue where or who she got them from. Oh well, at least they are young.
My son Derek's birthday is this week. We were going to have a swim party for him. September was quite distraught by this. She does not want any of the young boys who we were going to invite, some which are her age, to see her with her spots. I thought, "What a little lady already thinking of what the boys are going to think about what she looks like." A vision of things to come I am sure. She was relieved when she found out we would have to plan the swim party for another time. Derek on the other hand was upset at first but being an understanding brother decided it was ok to wait a little longer.

Yuck! Well, like you said, maybe you can get them all over with now.Poor kids, I'll be remembering them.
I am so sorry for her. Hopefully this will come and go soon.
Hey have September invite me on her blog so I can leave her comments from time to time.
(Okay the comment that was deleted was from me. I was signed in under another name. Just helping out with their blog template and forgot to sign back out...ooops!)
Ohhh the old fashioned chicken pox! Three of mine have had them and I still have two to go. Like you I would just want to get it over with when it hits us again. Levi got it twice since his first bout was only four pox...hehehe River had it sooo bad that you can hardly see any normal flesh and most were on top of each other. It was crazy extreme, so we have seen it all at this point! Anyway, I dont blame September for wanting to wait, and how sweet of Derek to be so understanding!
