Week in Review

Last Monday, after dropping off Daddy’s car at the fix-it-shop, I went to Mema’s for some fun in the sun. There are some pictures to check out in the pictures section of my website if you’d like to see me in action.

FunAtMemas

While I was there, I played in my pool, played with Julie-Dog, and got a very educational lesson on the ecosystem of tadpoles with Renee. I even touched a tadpole AND the tiniest frogs I’ve ever seen! Thanks, Renee!

On Tuesday, I got an early visit from Gigi and Poppa. They were on their way to Florida and stopped by with some tasty donut treats for me! Thanks, guy! Later that morning, TC came down to do some work around the house for Mommy. I was kinda’ bummed because I really wanted to play with him, but Mommy kept him busy doing things outside.

On Wednesday, I got up and got ready to go to school. While Mommy was dressing me, she noticed that I had some red dots on my back. She told me that I must have gotten some bug bites while I was playing outside at Mema’s on Monday. I went ahead and went to school. When she picked me up, she noticed that I had MORE dots on me!! Instead of bug bites, Mommy said something about a chicken in a box (translation…Chicken Pox)!! We went to the doctor right away. The doctor said it’s harder to diagnose these days because when kids that have gotten the vaccine get the pox, the pox are a-typical looking. They don’t have the textbook look to them and they’re not nearly as bad in number, itching or duration. I had to get my blood taken to actually confirm chicken pox. Unfortunately, the results won’t be back for 7 DAYS! BUT – I still could be contagious for the next 3-5 days; until all the little blisters have scabbed. No fever, not a lot of itching, sleeps fine, like nothing is wrong. So to play it on the safe side, Mommy has been quarantined with me on Thursday and Friday, and Daddy took over the duty on Saturday so Mommy could go to two parties in Lafayette with Mema, Pepa, TC, and Renee. I sure wish I could have been there, too.

So far today, it’s been another day at home with the Mommy and Daddy. I hoping that we can actually go out in public again soon!
