Derek's great grandma died this week. She was 95. We are so thankful that the kids had a great-great-grandma that they knew and will remember.
We got school pictures back this week. We decided to skip the pricey studio where we normally have the kids' birthday photos taken and had Buddy take his picture at school this year. The pictures at the studio are okay and we had only been buying a headshot pose anyway (for $80). I am pretty pleased with the way they turned out- especially for $30ish total.
Buddy had his well-child check-up on Friday. He got all his kindergarten shots and the flu shot. Three pokes and no tears! He did tell me he never wanted to do that again though. I showed our pediatrician the small bumps Buddy has on his neck and armpits. While at the appointment, I noticed the bumps had spread on his legs, feet and elbows. He confirmed that the bumps he saw on his neck were molluscum and gave us a referral to the dermatologist. (Punky had molluscum when she was maybe 2 but it was only 1 or 2 bumps and it went away after a month or two.) He didn't really look at the bumps on his lower half and I didn't think twice about it until Sunday when Derek and I were discussing that it looked different than the neck bumps. Buddy complained a bit about the leg bumps itching and had never before about the ones on his neck. Then I remembered that a girl at daycare had scabies and I started panicking. We went to urgent care this afternoon and it turns out the kid got poison ivy (or poison oak or sumac- we don't know!). They called it contact dermatitis since we don't know the cause but we are treating it like poison ivy. Seriously, how does that happen? He has been wearing pants, long sleeves and shoes. And we haven't been in the woods, etc. I would not have been surprised had this happened in the summer, but in November? Whatever- I just hope it goes away soon.
