That's How Alycia Eats Her Medicine

Alycia who once gave me and the entire family a real tough time feeding her medicine can now eat her medicine without any fuss. I must say she's even better than me when it comes to this. I hate medicine and I can never swallow any type of liquid medicine without barfing. All I need to do now is to put a treat in front of Alycia, pour the medicine out in the measurement cup and there goes my baby - she'll drink the medicine without any complaints but if the medicine has a strong smell, she'll pinch the bridge of her nose like this :




Notice her watery eyes? This particular medicine has quite a strong taste and she almost puked; I quickly stuffed a pinch of Mexican bun into her mouth which stopped her from puking instantly.

I remembered that when I was a kid, I used to puke after consuming a very bitter medicine. My parents told me that it was sweet but it tasted very bitter indeed, and until now I still have a little 'paranoia' when I am approached with medicine :(.

Good girl Alycia...it's really hard to take medicines, and here you are just pinching your nose, then medicine's all gone.

I'm giving you a hug for being very brave!
