Asha 4 yrs 10mos, Rana 23mos

Since September eczema attack everything was more or less under control for  Asha. When she eats something which has dairy contents her eczema would itch and flare red a bit. If this happens it will take about a week to recover. Sometimes it just flares up and I don't know why. Maybe something she ate from school.

We found 3 new stuff that helps:
1. Emu oil. This is good to help fix broken skin underneath. Unlike aveeno which kind of like protect the skin from outside.
2. Shea butter cream. This is a cheap and pretty good moisturiser. It's easily absorbed too.
3. Tea tree oil. Now I know essential oils are not so much recommended due to its dangers if used not in proper dosage.. But it really helps the irritated skin and reduce the itch. I usually give it night time when she tends to get itchy due to aircon.
Asha's Milestone

Despite her eczema she is progressing well. Nowadays she takes more interest in trying to read everything that she can read. And it has improved as well. Even though we still need 2 days to complete a thin book but I'm sure it'll improve. She is as usual such an active outdoor kid. Actually both of them are. That's why I like bringing them outside to parks where they can roam free.
She lost 1.5kg since her eczema attack in September. I hope all those food goes into fixing her gut so she'll get better soon. She will be a K2 student next year! I'm so excited!! But it's still very difficult to wake her up in the morning. All the whinings and cryings sometimes gets in my nerves.

Rana's Milestones

Her vocabs increased a lot. I can communicate with her easier even tho sometimes I still don't understand what she wants. She's very expressive tho. She's a very active, brave, and carefree girl. Got a slight problem sometimes with her bowels. I'm still trying to figure out what to do best. Always fight with her sis, likes to disturb the sis, picking up fights, high sense of competition with her sis. I think this sharing concept sink in real slow. Cos I remember me and my sis always fight over things til we were big hahahaa.
