Fifth Disease

Poor Kate has Fifth Disease, aka "slapped cheek disease" luckily it's just a virus and will pass, and believe it or not, the rash doesn't hurt or itch, it just looks like I abuse my child! The first time it showed up, I thought it was a horrible sunburn and I felt like the worst Mother in History for not using sunblock! The second time it came was also right after we had been out in the sun, but I had used sunblock that time and the pattern of the redness was in the same exact spots as before (randomly on the bottom of her earlobe along with other patches that were identical as the first time). Apparently heat and sun makes the rash worse. I felt a little better knowing it wasn't my lack of sunblock that made her face so red the first time!









We've been trying to stay indoors lately!
