Too Much of a Good Thing?

The good news is: Clara finished up her course of antibiotics yesterday. We're thrilled as this means we don't have to subject her to the indignity of the baby-sized syringe of medicine stuck in her cheek pocket twice a day, and her diaper rash should abate on its own. For the past week, her diaper rash has been kept at bay with a prescription concoction called--and we are not making this up--"Butt Paste." This has some sort of somehin'-somehin' in it, as well as an "anti-fungal" (and here, we fervently hope this last bit forever remains a prophylactic measure).

But we no more got one bottom healed up then the other wee bottom broke out in diaper rash, and Fans, we fear we are entirely to blame. As you, Joe's legion fans, know, Our Hero is mad for the fruit, especially the berries. We suspect we have allowed him too many blueberries. He's in detox for the berries, and we are now using the Butt Paste on him.
