Well, here is the update on Mr. Speckles:
When I went in to check on Asher this morning, his little spots had turned into larger dots that were connecting to each other and covering more of his skin. He still seemed to be unfazed but I took him to the pediatrician to check it out again. Turns out, the new diagnosis is that he is having a reaction from the MMR shot that he got 2 weeks ago. Only 5% of the population gets this kind of rash reaction and Asher is in the lucky group!
There is nothing that can be done to get rid of it, besides wait it out, but it turns out that as the day went on, he got pretty uncomfortable. I couldn't tell if he was itchy or uncomfortable or what, but once I brought him back home, he took a nap and that seemed to help. Later in the day, he got a dose of Tylenol and that also seemed to help.
By the end of the evening, he was still a little crabby but the spots seemed to have gone down some. We will see where they stand in the morning, and depending on how he is acting, we will see if he gets to make a reappearance at school where he will hopefully scare less kids and parents throughout the next few days!

I think that the smart kid saw this as an opportunity to stay home with Mommy and have ALL the attention to himself (oh ye...and Addison to).
I think the same thing happened to Harvey. He had HUGE spots all over him that kept coming and going and popping up in new places. It went away after a few days but he was definitely uncomfortable poor kiddos :(
