you know what happens when you assume...

When E was about 5 months old, John gave her a bath by himself. He had done it before, but this time he couldn't find the usual bottle of baby shampoo. He picked up what he assumed was a new bottle and went about with the bath.

Needless to say, it wasn't shampoo. Rather, it was baby oil, and the result was this:

Well, tonight we noticed that E's eczema had flared up a bit. No biggie, it occasionaly happens. I asked John if he could put her special cream on, referring to the Rx steroid cream that we use when her ezcema really flares up.

"Yay! You have white legs!" I hear John yelling.
"That's funny, I thought the steroid cream was clear," I say to myself.
"White legs! White legs!" Elizabeth yells as she comes running in.

As she danced around I smelled the distinctive smell of Desitin.
It turns out John had rubbed diaper cream all over her legs. Granted, I had been raving that this stuff was practically a miracle cream in clearing up A's diaper rash, but I had assumed that he knew that wouldn't clear up eczema.

But, like they say, you know what happens when you assume.
