ouch & missing...


Did you know that the sun can reflect off of sidewalk? I guess I did know, but I didn't even think about it...while we were at Lego Land I kept Max covered pretty well. I kept his stroller canopy over him the whole time and stuck to the shade whenever possible and yet my poor baby looks like this...the little baby skin under his eyes are just fried! The picture doesn't even do it justice...he looks like he has been slapped in the face...poor kiddo! Another funny fact is that Noah has some pretty funny sunburns himself. I use the spray on sunscreen and when I spray their faces they scrunch up their eyes and hold their breath...well guess where he got sunburned? On the little bit of skin right around his eye lashes...you know...the part of the skin that would be hidden when you scrunch your eyes shut! It is peeling now and looks really funny!


Also, is it bad that I am missing the yummy hotel breakfast this morning?
Some how cereal or a slim fast doesn't quite cut it!

Ben only gets sunburned under his eyes and in the shape of a triangle, with or without sunscreen. Weird, I guess we're not alone. Maybe we could set up a neighborhood breakfast like that, I find my way over to whoever was hosting that morning!

That spray on sunscreen does some funny stuff. The bottle says "rub free" however if I don't rub it in, I get burned!! Strange.
Sorry to hear about Max. I recently heard and tried putting baking soda in a warm bath and letting your child soak in it to help with sunburns and it was wonderful. Maybe you could do some sort of compress on his face? Just an idea :) Good luck. And that breakfast looks delicious! Glad you guys are enjoying your summer.
