Our First Tic

Argh!!!  Yuck!!  I was helping Gabe in the shower tonight when I noticed right away what looked like a new, dark freckle on his back.  When I went to wipe the freckle (hoping that it was a black fuzz), the freckle didn't move.  And then when I touched the freckle, I knew it was a tick.  Argh!!  And Jason's in China!!

Of course, I ran to my bathroom, got the tweezers, and pulled the thing out (it had just started to burrow, so it was a bit hard to get out and then left a red mark on the Bub's back).  Luckily, Gabe said that it didn't hurt (and I think he actually liked being the first boy in the family to get a tic).  I'm very proud of how Gabe handled himself with the tic.

We went for a walk in the woods today with our friends, so it shouldn't surprise me about the tic.  Oh, how I loathe tics.  Yuck!!
