This will be a long night.

Anders has a heat rash, allergies (to ragweed, I'm guessing), and some painful teeth are staring to poke through.
The heat rash looks worse than it is. Anna thought about going to urgent care, but then she realized that they would sit there for three hours and then the doctor would ask if she was using a new detergent or if Anders was eating a new food, and then the doctor would tell them that Anders has a heat rash that should be treated with ointment and corn starch, which we are doing.
As we tried to treat the heat rash, we realized that Anders was stuffy because of exposure to the outside. Opening the windows was part of my crackpot idea to air out the heat rash.
Then, as I was comforting Anders during one of the three times he has already awakened tonight, I saw his hand plunged in his mouth--teething.
If he could just sleep from 2-4 am, I will be okay. Anna will need more sleep than that as she has her first day of school tomorrow.
I better get to bed. I'll be up again soon.
