The face of itch

So L definitely has the pox. She's very lucky and doesn't have many on her face but she has them in other horrible places like the palms of her hands. To be honest, she's scratching most of them till they bleed before they even come up, she's pretty angry about their itchiness.

We've done puzzles and coloured in a huge poster. Supplies are running low, I may have to break my own play dough rule if she's not better in a couple of days.

E still really impressed with her new friend at school. She was talking about her from the moment she woke and is now contemplating cancelling her lunchtime clubs to play with her some more. I can remember being younger (just about) and how intense new friendships can become. I met my best friend on a train when I was 11 and it was instantly like I'd know her forever.
