Itchy!
Very!
oh my… those poor boys (then and now)
🙂 I hope they stay unaware that I posted this today.
Goodness, they must have been miserable 😦
Especially the little one who really couldn’t figure out how to scratch! 🙂
He’ll be glad of that when he gets older. I still have scars from that hellish illness!
The older one has one on his forehead where that huge one was—some mean girl called him Dot Head. Can you imagine???? :-). Thank goodness he wasn’t overly sensitive.
My gosh that’s terrible! I’m certain mean girls have been trying to break the spirits of kind souls for forever. Good thing he didn’t let it get to him!
Chicken pox party! LOL
Indeed it was! Funny thing was Aaron was not supposed to be able to get them since he was still just on breast milk…….
Close-knit brothers, share and share alike. 🙂
I am sure they still feel the same way! 🙂
So…, I am not the only one who had a baby with chicken pox. Caleb was just a few months old when his sisters brought the pox home from school. I would not even have thought to take photos. Bet these images are family favorites, huh?
Aaron was about 6 months and the doc told me after I knew we were exposed that he would not get them because he was still just on breast milk. Obviously that did not play out but I was glad they both got them out of the way!!!
Silly doctor. I was breastfeeding my boy, too… He didn’t have a very severe case, so we always worried that he could get chicken pox a second time. Hasn’t happened. Yet.
I think any case is horrible…. I am all itchy now.
Oh poor things. my kids have not had chicken pox – I guess we are vaccinated against it pretty well now. thankfully….the nearly drive me from the house with just a cold; cannot imagine the decibels their whining would hit with this itchy mess! (not that I could really blame them)
Itchy and Scratchy!!!! No vaccine when these guys were little so you really did want them to just get it and get it over with when you could “plan” it. They really were not too bad but then that was many years ago and you know—my memory has faded with the years. Aaron was the worst because he did not have the coordination at 6 months to scratch but I guess that was a blessing in disguise.
Oh, dear!!! And poor Mom!!!!
But don’t they now have to be wary of shingles? I believe the chicken pox virus stays in your system forever. My brother had the shingles and it is extremely uncomfortable and unpleasant. Please tell them to research it.. Just for their own information. Or you will probably do it for them anyway. lol
Yep—if you had chicken pox you are susceptible to shingles and they are horrid. Now there is a vaccine for them—-of course I have never gotten the vaccine either….hmmmm…another thing to check into.
Oh dear!
Great shot, huh???? Poor babies!!
Sarah and Lisa looked like that once upon a time except they were 4 and 5 yrs old. Brian got the vaccine so he didn’t get to experience all the itching and polka dots. Lol
I was glad they got it together but it was not a lot of fun for either one of them. The vaccine would have been a nice option….
I think I have a picture that looks much like that one and it may be of Mark and you. I will have to look and see. Do you want me to find it so you can put it on as I remember both were covered? I will have to look it up when I have some free time.
I have that one!!! I didn’t think about putting it up next to the boys!!! I will look it up!
Oh, those poor little ones – chicken pox I assume? Even itchy, they still look so cute!
Yep—chicken pox. Itchy and Scratchy at their best!
Just looking at that picture makes me itch all over and long for a soak in an oatmeal bath! I’m so happy I didn’t have to deal with the chicken pox with my three.
🙂 They were not fun!
Oh geez those poor little guys!
I got that chair before you went Down Under!! Drove with my dad 11 hours that day. Never turned on the radio. It was a good day.
Indeed you did!!!! I remember that day well !!! So glad our chair got a nice home!!!
My #3 son got shingles at 18 after being exposed to Chicken Pox after he had them. While he had the shingles, my 3 yr old daughter caught chicken pox from his shingles. It was so strange. They both survived (they’re now 45 and 29). and so did I……..lol
Ugh!!! That is horrible!!! I would not want to have them as an adult!!!! Glad they survived but ugh. How horrible!!!
is that chicken pox?
Yep—times two!!!
Times two?
Two boys with them at the same time!
Oh, my, no words required! I had chicken pox when I was in the 5th grade. I was so ill. Not fun at any age…
No –not at all!
