Ian's finally taking medicine!!!

just on Mon, Ian was down with phlegmy cough and flu and daddy decided to take him to see doc. Mama was skeptical abt Ian seeing doc and taking his medicine coz he's always refusing medicine no matter how we coax or how many pple coax. Just 2 Sundays ago, ah maa was saying how we shld try make him take med or even bring to her pl so more pple can coax him to eat med. Anw guess we are 1 of the few parents who won't take the kid to see doc even tho he's sick coz before Ian was 2, most of the time he recovered on his own (ie no medicine)

din know this runs in the genes. Ah maa said daddy was like that as well and ah maa and ah gong had to corner him and take him by hands and legs to force it down his throat....hahaa now daddy's son (ie Ian) is smarter coz after we force the med down his throat, he is still able to get the med out from his throat by throwing up together with his other eaten stuff =( so after some of these episodes, we kindof gave up asking him to take med

But he surprised us when mama casually asked if he wanna take med (coz he was having runny nose) and he said OK so quickly take med and sweet to ask him to take med. He opened his mouth and swallowed down without much fuss...oh that moment seemed so impossible but he did it except that he doesn't like the 'strawberry' one coz its pink in color and still have to take time to coax him for that....but this time we sure hope he recovers faster since he rarely takes med...and of coz his motivation is such that he can take his orange juice, yogurt, yakult and ice cream soon hhmm
