I should have known better.

Morgan has reacted badly before, clearly this is now something that has to be watched. This is also why CJ rides my butt about the kids playing outside in flip flops and not "real" shoes. But come on, they were playing on the slip n slide and in the baby pools. You really can't make them do that in tennis shoes or boots. And all the rest of the kids were outside in no shoes or flip flops. Clearly Morgan is not 'the other kids'. The second picture is kind of blurry and doesn't come close to doing it justice but I'm sure you get the picture.
This is 12 hours post (5-6) ant bites.
This is 36 hrs post ant bites: I'm not sure you can clearly see where his skin split on the side of his big toe from the swelling, all the blisters he has where the bites are, and all the nasty oozing gunk. I'm pretty sure he's going to loose almost all skin from his big toe because it is just one giant blister.
Ask me what kind of piece o' crap mom I feel like.

Stop it! How are you supposed to know that he is going to react this badly unless it happens. Done...now you know. Good luck trying to convince him to keep his shoes on. Kids love to be barefoot!

Poor Baby! I agree with Jeanne, you couldn't have known. Beside if he was wearing shoes, he'd have a swollen ankle instead of a swollen toe.

i'm sure you already thought of this, but diod you give him bendryl?

You're NOT a bad mom! He wants to do what the other kids are doing. I am sure it was hard enough to convince him to wear the flip flops, let alone a pair of tennis shoes. I agree with Angel, he would have been bitten no matter what kind of shoes.
