Rey's chicken poxes have completely cleared after 2 weeks of quarantine.
Actually, our pediatrician told us that most likely Rey did not need a full 2-week quarantine; he may have had a so-called "modified" type of chicken pox, a far milder version than the standard one.
But exactly after Rey's quarantine, Rio started to have spots...just one on his right upper arm, and 3 spots on his back as shown here.
The pediatrician does not think the ones on his back are chicken pox, though the one on his upper arm may be so.
Since Rio had a vaccine within 3-day of his exposure, the pediatrician concluded that he may be having a very much milder version of "modified" chicken pox. Only maybe (meaning, it could well not be chiken pox, altogether).
So Rio was advised to stay at home for a few days, only till his spots subside so that the doctor can issue a letter of consent to clear his case. Just for a peace of mind for the parents of his schoolmates. ;-)
I just wished Rio had the condition before Rey completed his 2-week quarantine...*sigh*
Rio is now only one-month shy of his 2nd Birthday.
But his command of language (especially that of English) is far more advanced than that of Rey at that age.
I guess being the second-born, as well as the fact that he started going to a nursery school one year earlier than his elder brother, contribute greatly to his advantage.
Around this age, Rey only managed to utter random words, such as "No", "Shire" (because he was a huge fan of "Lord of the Rings" at the age of 2), and "Kope" (don't ask me what he actually meant with that word).
But today, Rio made a huge leap from a simple world of "random word" to a complex domain of "structured sentence", when he uttered;
"What Is It!?"
while watching out of the window of a taxi on his way to his school this morning.
That was the very first structured sentence my tiny Rio uttered in his life.
Hooray! I'm so glad that I've managed to capture that memorable moment.
This is when I really feel glad about having been blogging, as it can in a way crystalize the moment to cherish.
