Achoo!

Pearl is sneezing a lot today. We have been blessing a lot today. She has a runny nose. She seems a little miserable. We had to squirt some pink tylenol into her mouth. Now she is taking a nap. It wasn't easy to lull her to sleep.

Tylenol is great and if she's over six months give Motrin to her too. 9pm tylenol, mindnight infant Motrin (dye-less is my favorite) We've been suffering through teething and a cold. Sigh.

Lillianna will take any medication as long as it's bubblegum flavored! I remember plain old St Joseph's aspirin was all that was available when I was a kid, (surprisingly that same flavor is in orange tic-tacs!)
Hope Pearl is feeling better and not so sneezy.

Sometimes when they teethe they get a little cold. If you are still nursing, bone up on some calcium-rich foods, like kale, broccoli, milk, almonds, whatever you do for calcium. Also, I heard that clove oil works--rubbing it on the gums will numb them, and the baby will like to gum on cold stuff, like a piece of cantaloupe or something like that. I miss little babies. Mine are starting to lose their teeth, which is so funny to me.
