Help, we are missing all the fun and ds is getting bored (and destructive)

[julienetmum]

Dd came down with chickenpox yesterday. More spots seem to be appearing all the time. Consequently she couldn't go to nursery today, so I couldn't take ds to his toddler group Christmas Party.

Dd was fine all day, lounging on the settee watching Tweenies Christmas & Noddy videos but ds was a little horror.

Whilst I was washing the dishes he climbed up and threw a fish out of the tank onto the floor. He had a huge tantrum when I was trying to help dd make some decorations (he kept throwing all her crayons everywhere). Now I know why I don't stay in with him but always take him out to activities.

We are going to be missing the Sing & sign class party on Saturday and the NCT party on Monday too.

I'm going to have a fun couple of weeks arn't I and of course he might come down with it too?

Long drive?

trip out during weekday/school hours to a deserted bit of seaside/parkland/countryside where you are unlikely to bump into anyone?

no need to keep the one with chicken pox out of contact with other people after 5 days of the spots being there. however the one with out it could be incubating for almost 3 weeks before you can be sure they do not have it.
