Deliver me

from screaming at bath/bedtime! I'm so at the end of my rope with it. You would think that a kid who remembers in the afternoon that mommy promised that morning to take him to the bike shop/park would remember that screaming does not get him more stories at bedtime nor does it delay bedtime. It actually makes bedtime come early!

And my baby is crabbier than usual as he has the start of a skin infection. He is a little oven to start with and with the hot/humid (for us) weather we've ben having he gets super hot & sweaty in his carseat. And since he's such a chub, his double chins collect sweat, milk & barf all day long. So what started out as a simple heat rash quickly turned into a hideous scaly, bumpy weepy mess. Its the worst on his elbows where they are in constant contact with the carseat. He's got a little patch of really dry skin on his neck and cheek. So now we have 10 days of antibiotics to deal with and aquaphor for the dryness and hydrocortizone if the rash comes back after the 'biotics are done. I also have to keep an eye out for what causes the reaction once this clears up.

Sigh, mommie is a hard job
