A week from last Saturday Rilla broke out in spots on her arms and legs. It looked like what Walter had last spring when he had a viral infection. It turned out to be a viral infection but one known as Fifth Disease. It is caused by the Parvovirus B19(not the same as parvo that dogs get). It isn't contagious once the rash starts but looked pretty bad. Every day she would wake up with the rash and it would be mostly gone by mid afternoon. Today the rash appears to be gone finally. Luckily, it didn't seem to itch or bother her.
She will be two next month and you can tell. She wants to do everything herself and has been throwing liittle tantrums when she doesn't get her way. I am very strict about my kids not getting a treat after lunch or dinner if they do not eat their food and Annie isn't very happy about that. Here is a couple pictures of her not getting a treat because she hasn't eaten dinner.
She moved from her crib to a bed a couple of weeks ago and most nights stays in her bed. On some nights she comes out and sits or lays in the hall. If she thinks we see her then she covers up under her blanket and thinks we can't see her.

Oh, you gotta love those terrible
2s :). I'm sorry to hear about the rash. You just seem to have the worste luck when it comes to sick kids.
I can't believe 'Rilla' is 2 already! It seems like such a short time ago that you arrived at Ft. Huachuca and she was only 9 months, I think. Oh how time flies!
She is so cute!! I love the hiding under the blanket. Kids are so funny.
I am replying to a comment you left on my blog. That is crazy that a doctor would tell you there is no pollen there. We had a doctor tell us when we first moved there, Ft. Huachuca has more allergy problems than any other post in the U.S. I don't know if that's true but it looks like you're doing a great job learning as much as you can about what's going on with your kids because the doctors aren't being real helpful. My mother kind of kept a medical journal of us when we were little and she has referred to it when we were grown and having problems. It was really interesting how connected some early issues were to some later ones.
