I’m lying to my two-year old; a boy who can not even tell a lie. WHAT kind of a sick mom am I?
My man child has really sensitive skin so even before he can make a BM I smother his bum in A&D. Desitin is too white and I feel horrible wiping his whole bum in it. I don’t know how anything can be better then grease, but a mother does what she can.
Anyways, now that he is used to having a greasy bum, (How could you ever get used to something like that anyways?) he throws a fit when I don’t. When I don’t feel like greasing him up but don’t want him to throw a fit, I take the tube from his chubby outstretched hand and fake it.
Yep, it’s true. I take a single finger, pat his cute little cheek twice like an indulgent drummer and call it good.
It works every time.

U are so funny...
Poor kid. Sensitive skin is a pain.
and my children all lie to me .... hmmm
wv= isessane .... think about it ....
So I'm a little worried about Brodi getting adjusted to things too much too. Because of his skin problems I have to rub medication all over his body twice a day. He seems to be getting pretty used to it, and I can just imagine his future wife cursing me when he's 29 and claiming that he has to have a full body massage before he can sleep every night. How funny, I wouldn't feel guilty though-I've done similar things-your really just being practical.
I love it! This would be called a mommy sanity technique.
