"Med-min"


We were so excited when Stella's pink eye drops were over a couple of weeks ago. Then Strep Throat arrived.

The Timeline of Stella's Amoxicillin (the bubble gum goo):

Day 1: Andy holds Stella's arms down as she thrusts everywhere screaming and crying as I jam the medicine in her mouth. I do my best to avoid the direct kicks to my enlarging stomach. She spits most of it back out. She's PISSED.

Day 3: After getting the first squirt in her mouth, she realizes she likes the taste. She even says "Mmmmmmmmmmm" and asks for more.

Day 7: In the morning when she gets up, she asks, "Med-min??" and is very excited to see the pink goo.

Only our child will be disappointed tomorrow since the bottle is now empty!

I know we'd have to worry about them wanting drugs someday, but already? Hope she is feeling better!
