faux eczema

Lately my kids' skin has been so dry. Every inch of their bodies are sore and dry and cracking.

I couldn't figure it out. After their baths, I'd lather them up head to toe with lotion but it was not helping.

Then I looked at my lotion. Here's a picture. See if you can see what I saw.

Need a closer look?
That's right... my so-called-lotion was really body wash. For weeks, I had been rubbing body wash all over my kids and letting it soak into their skin.

I think it's time for a vacation... and maybe an eye exam.
