Sooooo hot...

I'm hot.
Dude is hot too.
He sweats in mid winter while sleeping without a blanket.
Now he loses his body weight in sweat every hour all day and all night long.
And he is feeling cranky.
And cranky hot boys like to play spider monkey.
Wrap themselves around mama day and night.
And the rash?  oy, the rash.
Is it the heat? The chlorine? Both? Neither?
Oh, and he isn't eating.
Anything.
Yesterday?
1/2 banana, 1/2 pint blueberries and a handful of noodles.
Today for breakfast 2 blueberries and 2 pieces of life cereal.
Make that 4, of each, he's still working on it.

In happy less cranky news....
It is summer.  Summer is hot. But school is out.
I don't have to go anywhere or do anything if I don't want to.
I am heading home today to an efficient air conditioner and a neighbourhood DQ.
I spoke to an efficient government employee yesterday.
Tomorrow Ben and I head out to start changing his I.D. to his Canadian name.
Dude has a pediatric derm appointment Sept 14th...
so we may get answers to the never ending rash issues.

Home today for a couple days,
to the cottage,
to Ottawa for fun fun fun
and then back to the cottage for a couple more weeks
then maybe home again?
Sometime in August?
A life of leisure.

My life,
wrapped in a sweaty but so lovable spider monkey.

My eldest had rashes too, for years. And years. She's 9 now, and does not get them anymore. She outgrew them. They were u.g.l.y. but did the skin maintenance thing each day, but never really found out why her skin would erupt so often.

Nordic Naturals Jr. Omegas 3-6-9 was instrumental for keeping it at bay. We love that stuff!

Enjoy your summer!
Snick :)
