Fever gone – Coolio back

Monday morning Jakob and Kerstin had an appointment at the paediatrician and got clarification about our sunshine’s illness: He was diagnosed exanthema subitum or three-day-fever which almost every child will have at one point and which is not a worrying thing at all. Once the fever goes down (usually on the third day – in our case that was Monday late afternoon) the body gets covered in a red rash, which seems to not be itching, but simply looks weird and Jakob also showed these symptoms perfectly. The side effect to the illness fading away is a very unbalanced child and our son is taking that to perfection paired with his most recent introduction: unmotivated anger screams and anger attacks (most preferred while feeding, playing or changing the diapers).

How cool am I with my sunglasses?

Yesterday the grandparents from Oberwart visited us and spent the day in Vienna and also Markus took the day off to enjoy the warm summer weather with the family. In the afternoon we all went for a lengthy walk through the Prater granting Jakob a lot of time to sleep in the shadow of the trees and once he woke up after more than 2 hours resting he listened to the nearby summer party of a kindergarten, walked through the grass and enjoyed fresh watermelon junks. When bedtime came Kerstin realised how exhausted our junior was from the exciting day as he fell asleep very fast giving us the opportunity to enjoy the barbecue before the grandparents travelled back home to Burgenland.
