Rubber Man

Anderson has some kind of allergy to some of our bugs around here. The worst thing that happens is that he swells up around the bug bites. Last week he was bitten again and it did a number on his ear. It was HUGE and rubbery. It was funny. After you have 5 kids, stuff like this is free game to laugh at.....even with a 4 year old. With our first child we would have been freaking out and giving medicine and thinking about taking her to the doctor. With our 5th, we take pictures and laugh. I took some last week of his swollen ear. Anderson even enjoyed showing off. Benay doesn't think the pictures do the hugeness justice but I thought I'd take a shot and show them here. His ear reminded us of the movie "Hitch" when Will Smith ate the food that he was allergic to and his face swelled up.
We don't know what bit him but it had this effect: This is the best one that shows the difference between the two ears. It's amazing how big and red it is and how it moves away from his head. Just so you know, after a day or two he was back to normal (thank goodness!).

Last week when I came by to pick you and Anderson up I could tell there was something wrong when he was still across the street from me! The pictures don't do it justice! It was shuge!
