Alex has been absolutely shocking since Monday, very very whingy, always wanting to be held and really struggling to sleep. But when he does go to sleep he is going down for big stints ie 4.30pm Monday night till 4am Monday morning. He has just been an extremely unhappy fellow which is so unlike him.

I initially put it down to teething but have now since found out that a family that we spent half a day with on Sunday have had two of their daughters come down with the chicken pox. I cannot see any spots on him and he hasnt had a temperature or anything? How long does it take tho for the spots to show up after being in contact with the chicken pox?? Would that be what is making him so grizzly??? Incidentally on Sunday the girls didnt have any spots on them, they came up on Tuesday.
