Emilie has chicken pox (la varicelle). I have completely covered this child in war paint hoping to dry these things out. It didn't work. She has even more today. I feel so bad for her as she is in so much pain. Please let this go away quickly.

Trying to get Charlotte to cuddle/play with her sister as much as possible in the hopes that she will get this mess at the same time as Emilie. I am placing bets that she won't get it. We'll see. Please please say prayers that this is over and done with quickly.
