So of course I've been thinking constsantly about it to see what I could come up with as a cause, and trying a few internet searches. Jeffrey's was mostly in one area...I thought, "Maybe it's some kind of bite?" Not soon after, I come across a thread on bedbugs on Mothering.com, and I start imagining some horrible infestation (they are apparently very hard to get rid of, and just for the record, I'm 99.9% sure we don't have them!). But now they are in my head and I keep thinking "bedbugs."
Fast forward a day or so to tonight. A new-ish neighbor and his wife have taken a liking to our kids (they don't have their own yet), although we don't know them very well. He dropped something off inside our door because I missed the bell while trying to wrestle a clean diaper on a very upset Jeffrey. I go to open the door, and see a bag of...
BEDBUGS.
Turns out they are really supposed to be dust mites. ;-) The neighbor pops by later to explain that he works for a pest-control company and they were giving away these things, and he wanted our kids to have some.
I'm still chuckling, but a little :-P.

That is funny. Sorry about the rash issues. We are using California Baby products right now to help with my son's skin issues. That's all I have in the way of advice. And I don't even think you asked, but there you go.
Lol!
Do you think your children may be having a reaction to the ant stuff?
Thanks Sarah and Jennifer -
I love California Baby. Maybe I should go back to more of it...
Sarah, unfortunately (or fortunately?) the rashes started long before the ant spray. I also haven't let them in the kitchen since spraying. Luckily it's a liquid, not an aerosol, so at least it only gets where you put it instead of blowing every which way!
