A new concern for a new mother! My son has/had Eczema. My gosh, I've never felt so awful for him. The itching and crankiness is enough to make any mother squirm! I think the hardest part of Eczema is the fact that it's hard to find the source of the problem. For Peter, it was out of the blue. I don't know if it was his favorite breakfast of scrambled eggs or the window cleaner! Fortunately, a friend of mine recommended a wonderful skin product that cured it almost instantly. Unbelievable! (If you ever want a recommendation, just email me.) But, as I researched this pesky problem I found so many people suffer extensively from it. Have any of you been able to find a cure or even a source for eczema? If so, please let me know. I'd love to hear from you and I'm interested in doing a news story in the near future.
Hi everyone. I wanted to take a moment to say "hi" and gush a bit about a new stage with Peter. He's 16 months old now and I'm feeling more and more of a connection with him. He's talking up a storm (I wonder where he got that from) but he's also initiating games of peek a boo with me. I was overwhelmed last night when he was able to run and hide from me and start calling out "ma ma" from behind my bed. He was just giggling until I came and found him. I never before REALLY understood why kids change your life. But, for me, Peter has changed my entire perspective on life. And that's really the truth -- no embellishment. I have never felt so excited to sit on the floor with a blanket on my head just to hear him giggle or walk closer to see my reaction. There have been so many times that I felt so unappreciated, you know, waking up 3 times a night just get screamed at by a teething toddler! But, every game of peek a boo and food throwing makes up for all of it. I guess it's a 16 month old's way of saying "thank you" even before he can really utter the words. I just hope he will soon understand how thankful I am ... for him!
