Chicken pox - or not...

My Parents in law popped over yesterday to see Wee Man. As usual he was cuddled to within an inch of his life by his Granny (I think she quite likes him). Father in law managed to pry Wee Man out of her arms for a cuddle and they were playing happily when his Grandad mentioned the red spots on his face. Instant panic! Chicken pox?

Mother in law and I both rushed to check - there were 3 red/purple spots on his face. Oh no we both said and went in for a closer look. Something didn't look quite right though so I rubbed one and it disappeared. We had been eating cherries at lunch time and yes, they were splashes of cherry juice.

Lessons learned:
1) Don't panic until you have to.
2) Wee Man definitely takes after his parents and is a bit of a pigpen - he managed to get cherry juice on the back of his head!
