What can I do with my 3.7 ds who has chicken pox but full of beans with it!

[onesouffle]

We're all going mad, he's climbing the Walls and is constantly bashing, banging wacking his 12 month old brother! He's really getting on my nerves!
He's an outdoor boy but where can we go if he's infectious? Would feel terrible if we passed it on to any tiny babies or god forbid pregnant ladies!
Any advice greatly appreciated!

Have you got a garden or anywhere locally where he can run about and kick a football?

Unfortunately no garden-we're going out this afternoon and luckily his grandad has just taken him out for an hour! He just wants more than I can give at the moment, if I didn't have ds2 it'd be a piece of cake!

Football good idea though, thanks

Does anyone the average length of the infectious bit?!

until all the spots have scabbed over - about a week

How about an indoor obstacle course where he is not allowed to touch the ground. Made out of chairs and cushions and things.

That's inspired kitten! will definately try that tomorrow! Thanks!
A week?! Goodness me!

I know how he feels - I'm stuck at home too and feel fine. Maybe I should try the assault course

Anything that wears him out, like a long walk, is good

at auntiemaggie trying assault course!

I took boy to the beach ( it was autumn) and he had a good old run about. Also for bike ride , both during school hours and not involving playgrounds.
oh, and playdates with friend who had had CP already & another whos mother was fairly keen for her sons to get it.
