Just Eat It!
Antibiotics are our friends. That's what I've tried to tell Bowen but he thinks they're secretly poison... just like peas, carrots, and basically anything that contains essential vitamins and minerals. So, I snuck 2 T. of his liquid antibiotic into his juice. He took one little sip, pulled it away, looked at is inquisitively and said "Hey". That was his first clue-in that I was trying to poison him. So now he's suspicious. Still being optimistic I crushed up a pill this time and mixed it in with his yogurt. I handed it to him and he stared at it ... and stared at it... and stared at it long enough to notice the tiny little specs of white in it. Ah ha, poison discovered. No yogurt tonight. And probably not for the next 3 days. Ok, fine, how about some icecream? Nope, sorry mom, I can't except any more food from you tonight seeing as there is very suspicious activities going on. (I forgot to mention that before the icecream, Bowen started to pick up his noodles one by one and examine them for foriegn agents. Most of them he decided were not contaminated and ate them thank goodness). He eventually did eat his icecream and I have been able to sneak suspicious white specs into his oatmeal. Momma's gettin' good.

oh my my!! Bowen, be a good boy and eat the poisen, I mean medicine. ;) Kudos for getting crafty Marie!
lol, marie. i can almost see him eyeing the suspicious white flecks in his yogurt. very observant boy! i always try the trick of hyping something up that i know caleb won't want. i say it in an exciting voice, like "oh YES! i can't WAIT to have some more medicine, it tastes sooooo gooood!" then i do a little shimmy dance that really revs things up. before i know it, the kid is begging for tylenol.
