Nicolas is a really sweet kid, playing the part of the 3rd child and often the peace maker he is kind and wonderful. He also has eczuma which is a general term for a dry skin disease that results in very itchy and irratated skin. It is also the common cause of him waking up each night and coming into our bed complaining from the itching.
The result is one of us getting up, finding his special cream, and smearing it on his most annoying spots, usually on his legs or arms. This is of course after we generally lather him up before putting him to bed. So most of our nights are interupted by the little man who needs our support.
Julia had it too, though not as bad. Hopefully he will grow out of it like Julia did.
The unfortunate knowledge is that he knows what he has and what is condition is called. When he comes into our room in the night he says "my eczuma is itchy!" He also knows what foods seem to irritate it so he avoids those as much as possible (which is tough because he likes gold fish for example, who doesn't!)
