So, do you want the bad news first, or the good news? I always like to start with the bad news, even though it can really bring down my joy about the good news. But we'll start with the bad news anyway.
So, I've been saying how Syd has really sensitive skin, right? Well, apparently she's not the only one. Now that it's been hot the last few days, and we didn't have the air conditioning on until yesterday (until my mom got home from her vacation, I hate the air!
) J.J. has broken out in a GIANT eczema rash all over his entire body. I mean all over. Face, feet, and everything in between. I used to get eczema pretty badly (still do, sometimes) so I'm sure that's what it is. My mom said mine started around 3 too. So, not good. He's exhausted all day because he's up itching all night. And it's just not pretty, it looks like he has some horrible disease. It's better today, but I'm not sure what this means for disney. I don't want him to be covered in a rash and tired the whole time! 
Mine doesn't flare up too bad at disney, so hopefully he'll be okay, with going in and out of the air conditioning all day. We'll just have to see, I guess!
On to the good news. I wanted to get out of the house yesterday so I went shopping for some sewing I'm going to be doing (more on that later), and we stopped at the thrift store...where we stumbled across a dinosaur costume (Okay, it could probably also be a dragon, but it's certainly close enough) for Sydney for MNSSHP for $1.49. Amazing! DH wants to put some kind of a bow on top, since he doesn't like when people think she's a boy, but we'll figure that out later. $1.49! Now I just need to find a deal like that for the boy, and we'll be in business. Here's our little ladybug modeling her costume. I think it will fit perfectly in September!
Soon to come: My sewing project, the stuff I got from the disney store when my brother did over the phone shopping for me, and maybe a few pictures from my mom's trip to disneyland!

I hope I can clear it up soon. He's very practical, so at least he doesn't have a problem with me putting cream on it. It's just that it's worst on his face, because I can't cover his face up with clothing like I can the rest of his body and he just keeps scratching at it. Skin problems are no fun, and I know it's my fault that he has them because he got them from me! Darn, because I really like to pass the buck on these things...
for the good deal on the dinosaur costume!!!! That is an incredible price!! Good job!
Me and my seam ripper became good friends, as I was tweaking my pattern, and I cut them all up and sewed them again and again, so they look a little rougher than one I would make now that I have a good pattern (and the fact that I have this sickness that I never bother to change my thread to the right color, or coordinate the velcro really...), but I'm pleased! It also means that I don't have to lug diaper cream everywhere to put on her at every change since her super sensitive skin responds really well to the airflow and it's just not necessary when she's in wool. Which is great for being out and about!
Sadly, it's true enough that when we used disposables for DS when we went to disney I spent more money to get the ones with mickey and minnie on them instead of just getting the store brand! I think I may have a problem...
