A couple of people said I should take him to the doctor to find out if it was Scarlet Fever but I decided not to. I know that SF is highly contagious and I didn't see the point of exposing him to a bunch of people in the waiting room just to be told yes or no - I mean, what could the doctor actually do for him? Nothing, and it's not like he was really ill.
So we stayed home for a few days and on one of the days I got the paints out. Luckily it was a slightly milder day and the house was warm because I prefer the boys to paint topless (and they prefer it too, becuase then they can paint themselves!) It's easier than trying to remove a paint-covered top, smearing it in their hair as it goes over their heads.

Sounds like Noah had Fifths Disease, a very common childhood ailment. The rash and red cheeks are the giveaway. Hope he's back to normal real soon!
ReplyDeleteWe have seven and they have had things that we as children never heard of. Well two of my children are pron to strep throat, BUT strep has many ways of showing up.
ReplyDeleteOne is with a rash, I was surprised when I took them in and my pediatrician told me they had strep, either of them had a sore throat. Also sounds like 5th disease, but could it just be dryness---I have been putting seasame seed oil all over the little ones as soon as they get out of the bath. I hope any or some of this helps. Elisa
i hope he gets better soon. he's so so cute with his little paints. what a masterpiece he was making!
ReplyDeleteI hope your little guy is feeling better soon! The painting looks so fun. I've thought about doing that with SP, but afraid of her painting the walls!
ReplyDeleteMy father taught me how to mix paint in empty egg cartons. It's one of my most favorite and cherished childhood father-daughter memories. I thought we were the only ones who did it. Thanks for capturing this, it really warmed my heart (I'm such a sap, sorry!)
ReplyDeleteI hope your little one gets better soon. He is such a cutie pie!
