Asparagus & Augmentin

I do declare! Royanne has the most unusual

palate for a toddler!

In addition to loving sharp cheddar, Asiago

cheese, chips & salsa and cold kidney

beans, she loves asparagus!

She shoved it in and wanted more.

I just started eating it in the last 6 years
or so, because I'd only had it from a can,
and discovered the fresh stuff is outta
this world! I am so glad Royanne
loves her veggies!



As you can see, in the background,
we are tracking the
medicine intake with Elmo faces.




Here she is showing me the Elmo collection.

Every morning, every night, it is

med-c (her way of saying medicine) and then

on to the Elmo wall.

We apply the tape and she sticks them

wherever. Sometimes she says "HIGH!"

so we will lift her higher.

Once it was all over, we had displayed

24 Elmo faces. When I bought the package

of Elmo faces months ago, I didn't know what

I'd use them for, but I knew she'd love them.

Sometimes putting up an Elmo made the

medicine easier to swallow.

Royanne, when in a calm and

pleasant mood, was given the opportunity

to pretend to draw up her medicine.
She was so proud! She really was good about

taking the nasty stuff.

We bought a canister of banana flavored

instant breakfast drink right before this

kidney infection thing happened.

She wouldn't drink milk and we were trying

to wean her from toddler formula.

The augmentin was banana flavored,

and since I hadn't yet opened the instant

breakfast, I returned it. Who would ever expect

her to take up with banana instant breakfast when

the med-c was banana? So, for the time

being we'll get our calcium in orange juice and

various types of cheese.
