What a chill wind now! But it cleared up during the day, so when in the sun it was lovely and warm. Emily's new Peppa Pig pyjamas (courtesy of Pam) were a big hit. And very timely too as she only had short-sleeved ones and it has suddenly cooled down at night.
Emily has had some strange sort of flesh-coloured raised bumps on her torso, upper legs and arms for a long time now, perhaps even a year. Back in the UK a doctor said they were nothing to worry about, but this last month a few on her tummy have flared up and look very angry and are obviously itchy. Finally, I took her to the medical clinic. The doctor knew what they were straight away: molluscum contagiosum, apparently. It is a viral infection and can take 18 months or more to clear. She advised against interfering with the red spots but prescribed some cream so hopefully that will help until they fade naturally. She said it is very common in kids.
Afterwards we had lunch with Nick and were glad to be able to be outside. Emily and I went on to Akabanebashi playground for a while then we shopped and returned home. We had collected large amounts of dry leaves during the day and had a go at making some pictures with them, though she was very tired and not very focused on what we were doing, even though she was allowed to wield the glue stick for once.
