Rash Decisions

[billroper]

Julie remains stubbornly rash-ridden this morning. She has refused to take another dose of the children's Benadryl (it makes her teeth slippery -- no, we don't understand this either), so we have given her a children's Claritin as the next best thing. And she's staying home from school today.

She's currently curled up in our bed asleep. This is good. If you're asleep, it doesn't itch.

Maybe try rinsing her mouth afterward if it's being annoying? That's what I tend to do with anything that makes my mouth feel funny.

We've been trying to convince her to do that, but it's challenging. (Many things are, when the almost-five-year-old starts out distraught.)

Last night, Gretchen took her upstairs and brushed her teeth afterwards.
