Medicine

Jeriel was sick with cough and some flu. So, every night, Jeriel would sit in the kitchen floor with me, holding his plastic spoon for me to pour him medicine. Then, he will eat and even lick the spoon clean. Quite surprise that Jeriel has no problem with medicine unlike when he was young, it was a war to feed him medicine. Maybe we kept telling him that medicine is to make him feel better. Jeriel even has no problem taking Scotts Emulsion cod Liver Oil (White) and later when we changed him to Seven Seas Pure Cod Liver Oil (non flavored one), he was ok.

Then, this week he had recovered from his sickness but every night he would ask us for medicine. We tried to give him multivitamin but he recognized the bottle. Imagine, he cried because we didn't give him medicine. Aiyo, so we put a small drop in his spoon and he was happy licking the spoon. Last night, Jeriel again asked for medicine. After so long of trying to change his mind with different things, at last I managed to persuade him to take an old teddy bear to bed with him.

Mummy is planning to ask for empty bottle from clinic and guess what, transfer his multivitamin into that container…Hmmm let's see whether it works or not…

Same goes here, Jo likes to ask for paraceptamol, maybe the taste of the medicine just like a sweet.
