How many times can you watch Frozen - help me distract toddler with chickenpox?

[slightlyglitterstained]

DS has chickenpox, so despite lovely sunshine we're stuck inside.

For DS, this is an amazing opportunity to watch Frozen again. And again. And another time. We got it last week and we're already up to seven times in total. At least he's happy!

Can he honestly last all week like this?

Any good suggestions for when he gets bored? He's 2, so enjoys stickers & scribbling but for a limited time.

2 year old DS home with vomiting here. We're on our second rendition of Frozen so far this morning. We should start a support group.

PS hope he is ok, flippin chicken pox

My lot watched the Lego movie 4 times in one day once, when I was too ill to get off the sofa and DH couldn't get off work. It won't kill them.

And for further distractions, how about a bath? Get some porridge oats, put them in a sock and let them steep in a hot bath. Add cold and then add toddler. He can splash and play, and the oatmeal will help the scratching.

It's monsters inc here (on netflix). Ds aged 2.5 would literally watch it on loop if we let him.....!! He must be the only child in the world who isn't remotely interested in frozen!

If it's nice out I'd bundle him in the buggy and go for a walk. If you keep away from the shops and play areas, you're unlikely to get close enough to anyone to pass it on. I took both mine out when they had it - I had to otherwise I wouldn't have left the house for 4 weeks! failing that - a run round in the garden - decorate a tree for Christmas, feed the birds or chalking in the patio etc.

Sounds like I'm not alone! Frozen second showing about to commence here (while DS ignores his pasta because the first bit fell off his fork).

Porridge bath sounds like a good idea, also I did actually want to see the Lego Movie. Might nip out for it tonight when DH gets home - it's his turn tomorrow so he might appreciate it

Just keep watching Frozen, tbh.

All three of mine had chickenpox at two week intervals - it went on for about six weeks in total. It was around the time Madagascar came out on DVD, and they just watched it on a repeat loop for the duration, slumped on the sofa with their duvets.

It was one of the formative experiences of their childhood - they're teenagers now, and can still hold entire conversations in quotes from Madagascar, complete with all the voices.

At least I just have one, and DP and I have already had it so once we're done, we're done.

Third run of Frozen here. Would be more, but DS still has afternoon nap. Think I prefer it to Teletubbies Miaow!

Hope everyone's DC are doing okay. Apart from the occasional scratch DS seems perfectly content. Managed to trim his nails on one hand before he woke up & grumbled (& went back to sleep with hands safely tucked under his head ) so hopefully he won't be able to do too much damage.

Hoping your DS has stopped vomiting by now ASAS! It's so miserable for them being sick.

Try lots of baths! Mine enjoyed a sock filled with oats and tied off, the oat milk stuff that comes out is great for the itches, plus bath fun!

We played out in deserted spots. It was the only bit that kept me sane.
