If he was a girl I would just put the top in a puffs and wouldn't have this problem...DH says no puffs on his son...

Aclee- my niece (who is CC) has eczema (spelling??) My sis took her to a pediatric dermotologist. He said my sis was not bathing her enough. She is supposed to soak in the tub for 20 minutes every night. Wash at the very end and immedaitely get out and put a heavy lotion (like Aquaphor) on. The time in the water is actually good for the skin, it is the soap that is not. I had always heard to bathe less when dry, so this was new to me. Just wanted to pass that idea along.

And the puff thing, I tell dh all the time Spencer would look so stinkin' cute with a pink bow. He has not yet caved to that one either...
