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!!
