All three of my kids have gone or are going through a stage that involves refusing to take medicine to the point I would rather they just get a shot. After a long night of rocking Brylee and watching her pull on her ears I knew she had an ear infection. Arghhh.....that meant there would be medicine involved.
The first dose involved me holding Brylee down and her losing a few doses because she was gagging and spitting it all over the kitchen that resulted in a full melt down.
The next morning I may or may not of sat her on the kitchen counter and told her that she could not get down until she took her medicine. I was not going to hold her down 2 times a day for the next 10 days.
30 minutes later Brett came to her rescue and begged and pleaded for another 20 minutes.
So I may or may not of offered him a reward of $5 at the end of the 10 days.
Brett is my hero and Brylee is a lucky girl to have such a patient brother!!
The joys of parenthood.
