Morgan - little bear 'lubs' his sunglasses, and tries to sleep in them. Bless him, we went on a bus ride yesterday (there and back to see how far it was, about two hours on the bus total) and he wore his sunglasses, often on the top of his head!
You may remember the awful time we had trying to give him medicine last time, the screaming, hysterical fits, the physical struggles and the attempt to bribe that has significantly contributed to some of our problems now? Well, if you give little bear a glucose tablet to have immediately after, there is no problem. The big problem is his determination to have LOTS of medsin just to have lots of tablets...
Glucose tablets, dextrose tablets, the little rectangles that come in tubes in chemists - they are amazing. One tablet four times per day will not kill him, and it really helps the medsin go down.
Morgan - your books are such a life saver at the moment! You would not believe, well, you have been here with poorly little ones so you know, it is such a help.
Also, to put things in a bit of context when I grumble about little bear. I had a lot of compliments on his behaviour yesterday. I am so proud of him.

Pleased to hear that the sticker books are coming in handy! There are hours of fun in one of those, as you are finding out, no doubt. Hope the medsin doesn't have to go on for too long, though, and that it makes him better soon.
Hugs.
As long as Darling Father isn't giving him too many sweets as well, the dextrose tablets ought to be fine. I remember loving them as a kid.
It's awful isn't it? If reason doesn't work (and why would it?) and you don't want to threaten a child, you have to resort to bribery. Which means in the future a child expects to be bribed. What can you do?
