Hand-Foot-and-Mouth Disease Comes Knocking
[Photos acquired on 31 OCTOBER 2014, wondrous text added on 30 DECEMBER of the same year.]
Emma, along with pretty much all the youngest kids in her class, came down with a nasty case of hand-foot-and-mouth disease this fall (gin-og klaufaveiki fyrir fólk, kallast handa-, fóta- og munnveiki).
She had to stay home for five days, and we were rescued by Finnur’s parents who took her in so that we could go to work. (6 images total)
The poor munchkin.
She had a lot of pimples on her face…
… quite a few on her hands, and…
… these were just the first ones to appear on her feet. Of course they had to grow out of a recent scratch she’d gotten, prompting weeks of saying ‘ow’ and pointing at her foot.
Playing nicely together.
Bjarki’s room is always sooo tidy.
