It's watercolor paint they got into...and Bradlee's tongue is NOT blue from paint, but from a blue Popsicle he had just before discovering the paints. They were so happy to be back together after Emma was sick...and today they were arguing....ahhhhhhh.....back to normal! :)
On Monday, I took the day off of work to stay home with Emma for one final day. She slept in, watched a movie on the couch, and then decided she needed "some fresh air". So, I made an appointment for both her and I to get our haircuts and we headed out. I figured it was a good outing, since she wouldn't have to push herself too hard...just sit there and enjoy! :) She also decided she wanted a ham sandwich for lunch (appetite back! HOORAY!), so we went to Subway first...here she is on Tuesday morning, right after taking her medicine!!! Such a cutie...
Tony and I learned that if we give Emma her medicine, give her a time frame as to when it needs to be gone and then leave her alone, she takes it with no problems. I tried this on Tuesday morning (same morning as the picture above). I set the timer for 5 minutes and said that if her medicine wasn't gone before the timer went off, we wouldn't be able to go have breakfast together at her school (something they do special in March for the parents and students!). It was gone with 30 seconds to spare! :)
That night at dinner, we did the same thing...we poured her medicine into one of the little cups, set it next to her at the table, then told her that before her dinner was finished, her medicine had to be gone. I came back into the kitchen while the kids were starting to eat to get Emma's milk, took it out to her, came back to get Bradlee's milk, took it out to him, went back into the kitchen to get my dinner ready, and all of a sudden Bradlee yells, "Emma took it by herself!!!!" Emma bursts into tears and yells, "BRADLEE!!!! You weren't supposed to tell! It was going to be a surprise!!!!" She had taken her medicine in between the time I gave her her milk and gave Bradlee his!! Tony and I started to laugh and once we told Emma that Bradlee was going to do this the rest of their lives, she laughed, too! :) I told Emma, "If you ever have a secret, don't tell Bradlee!" :) She got high-fives all around for taking her medicine so well and we moved on with dinner! :) :) :)
