alex has my genes-- poor kid

Alex got two bug bites and unfortunately he has my genes. I used to swell up like this. We were at Seth's last soccer game when he got bit. I saw the mosquito and it took a few seconds for me to get it. I squished it. Gross... blood was all over my palm and Alex's forehead. I probably pushed whatever it is that makes you swell into Alex. Saturday night it was a bit swollen but I had to point it out to Jeff so he noticed. However Sunday morning... well you can see the pictures. This was Father's Day and the Primary was singing to their dads. I was trying to have Alex go up, but Jeff was like, "Don't make him go up there." I think he thought Alex would be more of a distraction. Luckily Monday morning I could see some eyeball. The swelling kept going down all day. Today, Wednesday, there is just a bit of discoloration-- red and blotchy. Thank heavens for Benadryl.


He got a bite on his opposite cheek too.

Alex is trying to open his eyes to see.
