So yesterday I wrote half of our Christmas and other overdue thank you notes - so that gives me a blogging break right?
We spent the last two days diaperless in our house. So if the half way written thank you notes didn't earn a break for me, chasing around a pantsless soon to be toddler does! And no, I'm not trying to potty train my 11 month old...
James has developed a diaper rash that just won't clear up and despite every cream, cleaning and homeopathic remedy my KidsDoc app and the Internets told me about it just wouldn't get better. One suggestion is to spend as much time sans diaper as possibly, so that is just what we have done this week.
Ironically, the toilet has replaced the awesomeness of opening and closing doors and drawers for my little guy this week. My pantsless-wonder or in yesterdays case unbuttoned overalls-wonder spent a little too much time exploring all our bathroom fixtures. I learned the hard way if he bolts out of a room he is in the nearest bathroom, trying to throw any object and/or himself into the toilet bowl. His new trick, now that I've remembered to close lids AT ALL TIMES, is flushing.
At least there are not more balls, block and hands to wash toilet water off, until that is, he learns to lift the lids....
The continued spread of red bumps on his bum and back lead me to call our pediatrician this morning, and it's bad. So bad, in fact, that we now have a prescription for burn cream that has been near impossible to fill. I've finally found a pharmacy that has a quarter of the amount we need-but that is better than nothing. We're off to pick it up so we can keep pants on in this lovely 20 degree weather.

EEK! Good luck!! That is the pits. I hope it goes away soon! I also hope he doesn't learn to lift the seat anytime soon.
