Thanks to all of my mommy friends who gave suggestions about Nicholas' legs. The majority said bug bites, specifically chiggers. I told Nicholas the limited information I knew about chiggers, mostly from what I learned at summer camp a really long time ago. Nicholas went to school today and told his teachers, "I have chickadees on my legs!" They figured out what he meant and thought it was so funny they told some other teachers what he had said. It is pretty cute. I would rather have cute little birds on my legs than mean old chiggers, if I had a choice.
I did clarify with him that they are chiggers, not chickadees and I even found this picture of one on the internet for him to see. Eww!
Fortunately, the sores are looking better today but now they are starting to itch. So here's me all day saying, "Stop scratching! No, don't rub your leg back and forth on the chair. That's still scratching!"
