just realized...

I just realized that I needed to record that K will take her cold medicine now without screaming. It is nice. We really like the Triaminic Cold Strips. They do a good job with her nose.

One other thing... Do you know a good way to motivate a 2.5 year old who doesn't want to walk with you, but wants to either walk the other way or have you carry them?

Say to them, "Let's go see if there is more dog poop on the lawn." (We were heading home.) (We'd had some there last weekend and she was totally fascinated. Then it got cleaned up. She was sad.) Heh. (I can't believe I said that to her, but hey, desperate times call for desperate measures.)

We went through a stage when H & K would stop at anything that looked even vaguely like dog poo on our walks to stop and check.
"Mum is that dog poo?"
"No, it's a rock."
"I'll jump over it just in case."
Long pause while two little girls carefully line up to jump over the rock off to one side of the path.
