Both Luke and Susannah came down with the horrible: hand, foot, and mouth disease. This is not the same as foot and mouth disease that cows get. It's basically a virus that is spread through fluids or the juice in the blisters that break out on the hands and feet, and in the mouth (and in my kids' case, around the mouth...lovely!). The kids itched so badly and were so feverish the first 2 nights, they didn't sleep (which meant that I didn't sleep either). Then, after the blisters are done, ALL of the skin on the affected areas peels off--think sunburn peeling. Gross!
Luke had it much worse than Susannah. Poor guy. I had to keep him home for a week because he kept getting more blisters!
In other news, Susannah started WALKING! Also, the first day she walked, she banged her face in to the floor (tile) and broke BOTH of her front teeth. So, now she has perfectly symmetrical pointy front teeth, like they were meant to be that way! Only until they fall out in 5 or 6 years! She also LOVES her blankies more and more each day. She often can be found putting one on her head (maybe so she doesn't have to hold it?) and playing like it's no big deal.
We went to Parco di Monza and walked around closer to where the actual palace is. The king, when he lived here, had a massive pond and grotto and waterfall, and forest...he had everything!
Our view on the first sunny day after about 2 weeks straight of RAIN!
