Sunburn

I'm very behind on my posting!  Things have been crazy around here - between work and Mason and MOLARS I hardly have any downtime.  I still need to post about Easter, and post some other random pictures that I love.

Mason has his first sunburn, and it's a BAD one.  He has some nasty blisters and has just been pretty miserable for a couple of days.  He had on sunscreen (Aveeno), so we're not really sure what happened.  Because of this, I wanted to post this link about the best and worst sunscreens for little bodies.  I hope it will be helpful to some of you mommies!  We will definitely be investing in the best kind of sunscreen we can find to prevent future burns like this.  I think it's something we don't think much about in this beautiful springy weather - it seems like we think more about it in the dead heat of the summer, but it's an important time of the year to consider what you're putting on your child!

I am probably over-reacting, but I feel almost like I am mourning the loss of my child's pure, untainted skin.  This was probably bound to happen at some point, and I know he will heal, but his smooth, milky white skin is now red and rough, and it makes me sad.  Almost like he's already lost a piece of his innocence.

Okay, seriously I know how stupid that sounds, but it's how I feel every time I look at his poor blistered skin.

I have pictures, but this is not really something I want to remember, so I don't think I'm going to post them. I will get caught up with my other posts soon!
