• Days roll by and turn into months.  I went to the library for children’s story hour today with Alexander and his mom.  We had a great time.  The boy loves books.  We learned that several gymnastic schools in this area have toddler times where the kids can go and just play and tumble for several hours for a by-day rate.  I am looking for out-of-the-sun summer activities for this very active boy.

  Over the past couple of months, he had developed an ongoing skin rash.  Everyone sort of agreed that it was an allergic reaction to the ointment they had been using several times a day on his burns.  Eventually, someone notified a pediatric dermatologist who offered a free checkup.  It turned out to be seborrhic dermatitis which is an inherited tendency to develop this rash when the body is under stress.  Armed with a few tubes of samples, his mom slathered him every day.  Now a couple of weeks later, he looks great!

  On a personal level, I have been spending some time in Facebook.  I’ve found some old friends and even connected with a few versatile Xangans.  Message me if you have an account there.  On Facebook there has been a surge of writing 30 Random Things About Yourself.  I don’t think anything could compare to My_HAT_is_older_than_you.  He managed to write 200 things and I am sure he had plenty more. I have a list of 100 that I will put on this weekend.  It is harder than it sounds, but really a lot of fun to think about all the adventures life has to offer.
