TREACHEROUS THREE'S?

Sorry, but I decided since no one told me, I would educate you mom's out there- the terrible two's, which were not that bad for Ellie, are nothing compared to the Treacherous Temper Tantrum Three's. Three year olds give you so much more attitude than a two year old. Fair warning.

Also, for you mom's out there, Desitin Overnight relief that is 60% Zinc Oxide works great on diaper rash and then if you still cannot get a rash to go away, mix the desitin with corn starch, and unscented Mylanta to make a paste. It works great. The mylanta attacks any acidic urine or stool so that your baby's bottom does not get irritated and the rash is gone very quickly. Lastly, if you are having chapped cheeks on their face or extra dry areas that lotion is not taking care of Desitin now has a clear formula that works great. It is 40% petrolatum, so Vaseline, but I have not found any regular vaseline that is that high of a concentration. Abby had super sore cheeks that lotion was not making any better, but this Desitin ointment worked awesome!
