Diaper Rash and Red Skin

You and your mother spent the night with me last night.  This morning after changing you, I suggested to your mother that we get something stronger for your diaper rash.  It was fire-red angry looking.  She and your aunt went to the pharmacy to pick up some  zinc-oxide.  Later in the day, she said it looked better.  I told your mother that when she was a baby and when your aunt was a baby, they rarely had diaper rashes.  I like to think it’s because I never used chemical laced wipes on their little bottoms, and I air-dried them frequently.  Instead of wipes, I used a baby-washcloth sometimes with a smudge of mild-baby soap,  sometimes with simple warm water.  I always air-dried them for several minutes before putting them in a new diaper.  And never with any kind of ointment or powder.  Entièrement naturel.  🙂

Aside from the diaper rash of course, you do have your father’s complexion at times.  Observe in the photo below.  hehe…  🙂

Same complexion?

Here’s a little bit of trivia that I did not know about. Today your mother and I indulged in chocolate bars. Mmmmmm.  Your mother said, “You know, chocolate used to be a form of currency.” Indeed, I did not know that. Everyone once in awhile, your mother and aunt will surprise me with their knowledge. I know you’ll be doing that with your parents as well. You will be smart, and strong, and funny, and gracious (courteous and considerate).
