A couple of people said I should take him to the doctor to find out if it was Scarlet Fever but I decided not to. I know that SF is highly contagious and I didn't see the point of exposing him to a bunch of people in the waiting room just to be told yes or no - I mean, what could the doctor actually do for him? Nothing, and it's not like he was really ill.
So we stayed home for a few days and on one of the days I got the paints out. Luckily it was a slightly milder day and the house was warm because I prefer the boys to paint topless (and they prefer it too, becuase then they can paint themselves!) It's easier than trying to remove a paint-covered top, smearing it in their hair as it goes over their heads.
