Carter got out of the shower one Sunday morning and within 12 hours his entire body was COVERED in bright red, itchy hives. At first I figured they would go away, but after Wednesday came and went, I got him into the doctor. The doc pretty much said, what I had assumed- that they were unexplained hives and they should go away. He wasn't running a fever or had any other alarming symptoms, so we just waited. On Friday, he looked pretty good. Most of the hives on his face were gone and just a few remained on his arms and legs. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. This time, we figured out the culprit! A couple weeks earlier, Jason had sprayed the yard for bugs and used a store bought pesticide, making sure he soaked the playland to keep spiders and wasps out this year. Carter had very limited exposure to the playland, because of the crappy weather- but once he did, the hives appeared. Long story short- we are pretty sure that's the reason. We have since, power washed the play land and the hives have not returned. Whew! Poor kid though. Since then, I have signed us back up for professional bug killing services.
Dawson has been playing a new character almost every day it seems. One day he is Indiana Jones, with sling bag, belts and fedora. The next day, he's a magician with a bow tie and cape. The other day, he was a photographer. I loved seeing the shots he took- all on his own. Its fun to let the kids take the camera every once in a while to see the world from their perspective. Here are a few of my favs from his photo shoot!
His Preschool Mother's Day gift. A planter with big eyes. Love it.
(It's also fun for me to play with photoshop)
