It continues to be frenetically busy around here. This is not helped by the fact that Levi is now so excited about going to USA he is waking early (this morning 4.45am). Tonight he had no trouble at all going to sleep. After waking early and two hours of soccer training tonight, Levi was tired and trashed this evening. I took another tick off his head under his hair again tonight, I think. It was quite a big lump by now and I was pretty blinded by his hair. I asked Levi if he had anymore that he thought were in his hair, but he thinks I have them all now. The lumps left over are pretty big and itchy so I hope he is better than his Mum at keeping his hands off them.
This week at assembly, Levi got Student of the Week for his school. They have about twenty kids a week chosen from the whole school and he was very proud! It says; 'For consistently being a respectful class member who has many fascinating ideas to share'. I am sure he is exactly that! I can only hope that he will be tomorrow after a very tiring day today!
I've read that soaking a cotton ball in liquid soap & then dabbing it on the tick for 20-30 seconds, then setting the cotton ball over the tick for a minute before lifting the cotton up will remove the tick completely (it sticks to the cotton ball) & you have no worries about the head accidentally getting torn off & left inside your child's skin.
ReplyDeleteJust read that & thought I'd pass it along.
