Moms and sons





There are just some things that mom's cannot explain to sons or maybe it is just boys at age 3... After the shower, Nate said his balls hurt, I think he must have bumped them (it was not red or swollen... a pain I can't relate to though), he cried so painfully that it must have been painful but he is convinced that only a plaster on them will feel better.

No amount of telling him that ripping the plaster off will leave him in a worse state and with the tears flowing and the wailing... and me trying to tell him there are no more plasters, he finds a box that loren must have bought over the weekend. So we put a plaster on... he stops crying, its quite s sticky plaster so good luck to him when it has to come off! Maybe I'll plan for a bath and it will just peel off? Maybe it was so painful he didn't even try to ask for his usual 3 plasters and then thru a bargaining process it gets down to 1 plaster (these jewish or chinese genes are exhibiting themselves too early).

The chemist seemed to think that only the person with mites need to be treated, the dr advised all family members and so did all the sites that I read on scabies, this cream smells bad, I have a headache developing, even the CK I put on is not masking it! am not sure I can last 12 hours with this stuff on.

Ike in happier days pre-scabies, pointing and putting things into buckets. He is much better today but all that spoiling over the weekend has turned him into a mini tyrant. If he doesn't get his way, he throws a tantrum by pounding his head on the floor once. Thus the perpetual bump on his head. His appetite is back so he is definitely on the road the recovery.
