My daughter is so amazing!
Today I read a fellow CF mom's blog (www.nathansfight.com) she did a post about trying to train her son to swallow his enzymes. My sister turned me onto her blog and I read it, and it got me thinking...I wonder if Ayla could do that. She almost 3 and adapts to pretty much every change I've ever tried to implement.
I didn't read it until after her afternoon snack so I had to wait till dinner to try this on her. Dinner came and I got the enzymes and this time I didn't break open the capsules like I usually do..I just placed them into some applesauce put it on a spoon and into her mouth. And she tried to spit it out but once I said no swallow and gave her some milk she downed them like a pro.
I said: "Yay, such big girl!" "You take your enzymes like a big girl!"
She was so excited about her accomplishment.
So just now for her after dinner snack she wanted to try without applesauce. So I got her some water put an enzyme on her tongue and said don't chew. She swallowed it like a pro!!
Could this be the end of packing applesauce, Dixie cups, & spoon every time I leave the house?To just take a water bottle and her pills and go will be amazing!!
I think we might be there...Going to see how tomorrow goes. But those of you who know Ayla, understand that she is the most adaptable child. She doesn't miss a beat with change.
I am so lucky!
