if you take it with a forehead thermometer?

Depends which type you have I think-some forehead thermometers "convert" it to show what it would be in the mouth.
It should be around 37C anyway, but if the child has a very sweaty head it may affect the temp reading.

Is he poorly? Has he caught dd2's illness by wi fi osmosis?

(hang on, you've been my expert on toddler temps for the last few days.... whaddya mean you don't know??? )

dd2 is WAAAAAAY better. The ABs have really helped. She's not quite right yet, but definitely on the way.

Will let dd1 have a surprise when they arrive

Shall be on-line for a while tonight, dp will be giving the kids a bath and putting them to bed, so I 'll be around while he's doing that.

Probably about 8 ish.
