DS hates having any kind of lotion or potion on his skin. I'm not entirely sure where it's come from, the very rare times we've had any skin ailments for him, I've only ever used a drop of almond oil and it's cured almost overnight. But the summer sunscreen battle is now in full swing. He completely loses the plot when he even sees the bottle. He is almost translucent he's so pale (white blond hair, bright blue eyes) so even though he's always in long trousers, long sleeve tshirt and a hat, his face and neck need sunscreen. If I do manage to wrestle some on him, he scrubs it off with whatever he can lay a hand on.
I've tried all.sorts of bribery and today had to send DD to the park with her nana while I kept him at home (I thought he'd back down when he saw them leave, but he cried and cried send still refused to let me put it on him ).
I am out of ideas and can't face a daily battle for the rest of whatever summer we get. Anyone have some miracle tricks I don't know??
