Sad, Sad Story...


This is a sad, yet unfortunately true story...fortunately, one day - our family will laugh & laugh about it...one day... (alright, I admit it, I'm laughing now!)



My boy had a terrible allergic reaction yesterday! Every time his benedryl would wear off he would break out into these GIANT welts (imagine your worst mosquito bite x 2.33)! Well, this morning was his final handbell performance, to be held in front of all the parents of his Montessori classmates...all of them...in front of... are you following me here... we thought it was fine, a good idea for him to make the performance, after all you couldn't see the welts!



There he was, standing in front of all those people and he started to itch...not on his arm, not his neck, not his belly...but on his legs... near his crotch...he's four - nearly five, he doesn't even think twice about sticking his hand right down his pants to scratch...in front of all of those parents...

Looking back through the pictures, because, yes I did document the whole ordeal, it breaks my heart, what were we thinking? Why didn't we just leave him at home? Bad parents, bad parents...

At least he kept ringing his bell proudly right on through the itching! I really just thought his pants were falling down. They did a great job with the bells.
