Mary Poppins is a liar. Yep, a big liar.

I don't think any amount of sugar will fool Laura into taking her medicine. It is such a struggle. She cries so hard and gags herself.
Today for breakfast we managed to preoccupy her with her farm animal singing toy so that she took all of it in the blueberry applesauce without a problem.
Tonight though was a different story. Refused chocolate sauce - and that wasn't even tainted with the medicine! She just didn't want the chocolate at all. Then we added a heap of sugar to the blueberry applesauce and even that didn't work. Yeah, Mary Poppins lied. No amount of sugar will help Laura take her medicine.

I've placed an order for a MediBottle. Maybe that'll work. I saw it online last night and saw that it's available at Walgreens - I thought, Great! Maybe the one that just opened here last year will have it! I'll pick one up in the morning. The very kind pharmacy tech had never heard of it and this particular Walgreens did not stock it. I guess the website should say "some" Walgreens keep it in stock. Watch, now that I ordered it off the net it'll get here when we have just 1 day left of the meds to give. That'd be my luck. I'll let ya'll know if it's worth the $12.95 spent on it.
