Pill Popping
Livvy spends a few afternoons per week with Shelly, who she absolutely adores. Shelly is great with Livvy and they always make great art, play fun games and she's almost always exhausted at the end of the day.
Shelly takes multi-vitamins and herbs on a regular basis, and Livvy has seen her take those supplements many, many times.
out of the blue one night, we gave Livvy her homeopathic teething tablets, and she insisted on having water to go along with the doses. Not sure why, because the tablets dissolve almost immediately on her tongue.
I got her sippy cup, he took it from me and tossed a pill in her mouth, took a long draw form the sippy cup and then dramatically tossed her back in a mock-trying-to-swallow-pill fashion.
She now does this without fail, and does it repeatedly with each tablet consumed. It's a scared ritual. She's even started to extend it to eating the M & M we treat her to after a successful "pee-pee on the potty."
Pop (the pill). Draw (on the water). Snap (the head back).
