Poppin' Pills!

With the rising cost of EVERYTHING, I have been particularly bothered by kid medicine. I've really been fixated on it for some reason. I guess it's because we've finally developed allergies to our surroundings, so medicine is more necessary.

Well, we went to Wal-Mart and saw that a bottle of liquid Benedryl was $3.47--for about 24 doses. At Costco, a bottle of Benedryl pills was $3.97--for 400 pills! Do the math! And for stuffy noses, Sudafed is what works for us. Yes, the Sudafed you can ONLY buy at the pharmacy and you have to sign for. It's hard to keep stocked up on liquid, since you can only buy 1 bottle at a time. Now we have pills. Pills for all medications!



Watching the kids learn how to take the pills has been very entertaining. Hannah has caught on the quickest. Toph is having a much harder time. He'll keep the water in his mouth for close to a minute without swallowing--crazy!

So, we've entered the world of swallowing pills. We're big time!
