X Marks the Spot

Since I was a young girl, my grandma and mom have always told me to put a X into a mosquito bite. This will stop it from itching they told me. Well, sometimes it does work, sometimes it doesn't, but I decided to pass this onto Chase. Since the mosquito's have been so bad, and he keeps getting more bites I had to do something. He was scratching them to the point of bleeding. So I showed him how to make a X into them. This can hurt sometimes, so I made a squishy sound while doing it, and it made him laugh. So now when he is putting X's into his bites he makes the noise too. This morning he had one on his back. He said, "Can you X me please?" Now the whole X thing may be only mind over itching, but it is working for us! I go to the doctor this afternoon. I will give an update tomorrow morning.
