I groom dogs.  I love how that sentence can instantly invoke two totally different responses.

                                      1:

                                      2:

Of course, neither of these responses are actually the correct response.  Sometimes, I'd like to invite these people to follow a groomer around so that he/she can get an idea of exactly what this job entails.

My son has sensitive skin.  Whenever I give him a bath, eczema flares up all over his poor body.

I've tried limiting his bath time, smoothing various lotions/oils/creams all over him and every hypoallergenic and eczema friendly shampoo/body wash that I can get my hands on.  It normally ends up something like this:

The only thing that I have found that helps is limiting his actual baths.  Once every three days seems to do the trick, or maybe a bit longer.

Food normally wins the battle.

(Don't worry, we eat every night.  Most times a full three meals day! Okay, baby eats more then that and I might eat less then that, but together we might average three meals!)

Inevitably, since my son dislikes baths, after bath time is finally over, it normally goes something like this.
