@Norma Neufner Lady Officer: I would also recommend Bio-Oil. It cleared up my son's year-long skin condition and healed the scarring. Good stuff, and pretty reasonable. Read more
I have two older siblings, but I spent most summers living as an only child with my aunt and uncle. And I can say, despite my uncle's wonderful spoiling, that I preferred having my siblings around. Yes, we fought and screamed sometimes, but I was never bored and I always had a partner in my crazy schemes. Read more
