One morning in the Woodland Realm 3 year old little Legolas didn't want to eat his breakfast and his father said " Legolas aren't you hungry my little leaf ? No father Legolas said as he pushed his plate of French toast away from him and he said "I'm not hungry. Then his daddy noticed they were spots all over his little face, and his little feet and his little tummy. And then his son begins to scratch the little spots and his daddy grabbed his hands and said no baby don't do that. I know what you have you have the chickenpox. What what is that father? Well, the chickenpox are little dots that show up on your face in your body and it makes you itch yourself and scratch yourself but it's not good to do that OK because if you scratch it it will get infected, so no scratching. OK my little one OK Ada but it hurts. Legolas said crying because he was so sad because he was so itchy. " Calm down my little one I know what to do. I had this illness when I was a little boy come on daddy will give you a nice warm bath with oatmeal and you'll feel better right away. No not right away but soon come on let's go upstairs, but I don't wanna leave my breakfast on the table. It's OK baby I'll clean it up later come on let's go take a bath I don't feel well Ada said his son try not to scratch, but it was so itchy that he ended up scratching but Thranduil grabbed his sons hand and said no my little leaf we don't scratch but it hurts. I know Legolas I know. but don't worry this bath will help you and then his father filled up the tub with warm water and put some oatmeal in it and when it was ready, he put his son into the bathtub and started to wash him and at first his son confused and he said, why am I taking a bath in oatmeal? And my papa did this to me when I had them it helps with the itch OK trust me my son I know what I'm doing but I'm really itchy papa I know you are but you'll be feeling better soon and then when you feel better. I will take you to the archery store and you can buy new arrows and I can get you a new toy really daddy I will get you anything you want but you have to trust me that I will get you better because we don't have to go to a healer because I had this illness before and I know how to take care of it, so trust me my son. " alright Ada I trust you and can I have my rubber ducky of course my son here you go yay thank you daddy I love you . After a very long bath. Thranduil took a towel and wrapped it around his son and lifted him out of the bathtub and he said don't worry my sweet boy I will take care of you. And then he took him to his bedroom and he said stay here sweetie. I'll be right back. Then his father returned with a pink bottle of Calamine lotion. " ahh Legolas screamed and his father said what's wrong it's it's cold Legolas said as he felt the cold lotion on his body and his father said I'm sorry my little one I don't know it was cold said thranduil as he rubbed the lotion into his son's body and he said there we go my little boy they will help you. It's so cold. I know my little one. I'm sorry but I'm almost done. I just had to put a little bit more there. We go all better now let me get some PJs for you. Stay right there. Then his father looked through the PJ drawer and he said oh where don't you wear these ones they have little leaves on them just like your nickname my little leaf yes please I want to wear those OK here let me help you put your pants on 1 foot and now the other one here hold onto me if you're going to lose your balance OK all right now let's put on your shirt no come on Legolas you have to wear your shirt. but can you help me because I put it on backwards sometimes OK. Then his father helped him put on the shirt and he said there we go now let's put some socks on your little feet and then his Dad took out some. green socks and put it on his son's feet and he said there we go Legolas now your little feet was nice and warm. Now get into bed son but I don't want to go to sleep you you're not going to sleep I just want you to rest because you're sick. And you have the chickenpox and those are very contagious. Does that mean you can catch it? No baby I have the one I was a very little boy. I can't catch them again, but I don't wanna be alone. Can you read me a story father. " alright Legolas Ada will read you a story. Then his father took out a book and began to read, and he said do you like the story like the story my little one yes, Ada I love the story. Legolas said as he sat on his father's lap and his father said I enjoy reading stories to you, my son I love you so much, but then all of a sudden little boy began to scratch the chickenpox again and his father said no, my son don't, but it itches, Legolas said crying because he couldn't stand the itching and the pain that he began to scratch his whole body and his daddy said no baby don't please but it hurts father I know but the lotion is going to help you know I recommend that you don't scratch so you don't bleed OK I'm sorry it's all right. It's time for lunch so at least try to eat some lunch because you didn't eat breakfast. OK father I will, and then his dad went and he said I'm gonna make you your favorite soup with Lembas yes, my little one that is your favorite soup, right yes father OK I'm gonna bring the food upstairs so I want you to stay in bed. OK but I'm so bored there's nothing to do and I have a friend over no sweetie if you do, your friends are going to catch it and I don't wanna know other little elves to have the chickenpox. Says hisSet his father as he went out to the kitchen to make the soup. And his son went to sleep and his father before he left, gave him his favorite toy, his elk named Brownie and he said a sweet dreams my little one. I hope you feel better soon. After a while, it was around 4 o'clock in the afternoon when the soup was prepared, and his father came upstairs with a bottle of medicine, the soup and a dessert for later on a tray, and he entered his sons room and saw him playing with his toys, and he said munchkin go back to bed but I don't want to, my little one this is very important that you stay in bed when you're sick OK all right and I made your favorite soup mushroom soup with Lembas Thank you so much daddy OK hold on I'm going to feed it to you. OK here we go open up here comes the choo-choo train. Good boy I'm glad that you have an appetite. Good job you eat the whole thing I have some more maybe later son but I want more daddy if you have more I could give you your bellyache and I don't you have a and then on top of that you have chickenpox so that won't be a good combination of two sickness my sweet boy all right daddy get some rest and I will check on you later on later in the afternoon Legolas was still sleeping when his father entered the room and he said my baby boy is time for medicine. " no ada said Legolas covering his little mouth with his little hands, and he said no yucky I don't want to take medicine I don't want to. He said hiding an under his blanket and his father said come on son please try try to take some. I know it's yucky, but it will make you feel better you promise father of course I promise I'm your daddy and I will never put you in danger, OK then his son took the medicine and he said no That was disgusting. Legolas said making a funny face, and then his father gave him some juice to make the bad taste go away and he said you were very brave my little one. I'm very proud of you now it's time for dinner and we're having mushroom soup. Yup with Lembas yay thank you daddy and then his son ate all the soup and then after dinner his dad put some more chicken pox lotion on him and took a temperature just in case and he said yup. You definitely have a fever here. Let me put the wet cloth on your head. It'll help the fever go down . Thank you father for what my son always being there for me. You're welcome my little one you're so precious to me. I love you sweet dreams. I hope you feel better soon. Later at night little Legolas had a good sleep he wasn't so itchy and he was able to go to sleep without scratching and the very next morning he woke up with a little bit of a fever, but not too much and he didn't have any spots anymore and his father went upstairs and said how do you feel my little one? I feel a little bit better but I think I still have a fever. Let me see yeah yeah you still have one but look on the bright side you don't have chickenpox anymore, oh see if I can bring the fever down OK. And throughout the day. Thranduil took care of Legolas the whole entire day. He canceled his meetings and spend the rest of the day with his son. And by the time it was dinner time, his fever went down. And his father said guess what my little leaf you're feeling so much better that daddy ordered you some new arrows and bows and they just came in the mail here you go open it up when his son saw the arrows. He got really happy and he said thank you father. Oh and here I got your new toy too. Oh wow it's up. What animal is it dead oh it's a baby. Skunk toy do you like it yes daddy thank you you're welcome and thank you for making me feel so much better. You're welcome my son. I love you.
