Well, Joseph has caught Chicken Pox (In his words “Jo-Jo has Chicken Pox, Same as Daddy”), which was inevitable given that I have just had it for 2 weeks. He has coped pretty well with it so far, definitely better than me! We are in a bit of a sorry state as a family – I’ve just recovered from, first a bad cold, then a stomach bug all around the Ultra-Trail, then tendonitis of the knee, then Chicken Pox, Trace now has a bad Gastro, and Joe has Chicken Pox. Then Sparticat (One of the Kittens) looked like he’d been run over – Luckily he seems to have recovered which is a relief.
Today Joe is still covered in spots but much more jolly and himself. He has even come out with some fairly comedy lines – “Mummy has hair, Jo-Jo has Hair, Daddy has hair, James no hair” ! No idea where this came from, well ok, the James bit might have been slightly prompted!
His speaking is much more confident now. He copies most things you say so we have to watch our more colourful language! His French is also coming on from going to the Creche and the Child Minder.
