WEDNESDAY

Lonely Bird, Pencil

THE CONTINUING SAGA OF MZ. WEE: The peanut butter sandwich trick lasted one day. Not even a full day. She was wise by noon, and by evening we were back to the syringe and the stress. Today I tried something else. We took her medicine together. STOP LAUGHING! A bite for mommy, a bite for Mz. Wee. Now, you moms remember that trick, don't you? It works for Macaw moms too. I had her licking her medicine off the spoon......no joke!!! Of course, I just pretended. Hoping the trick works til the pink stuff is gone!

Speaking of gone, I will be for a few days. Just life happening! But I'll be back.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT: " A page a day. You have to write a page a day if you want to be an author. In 365 days you'll have a book. If you don't write a page a day, you might as well hang it up." John Grisham

You have me laughing! Your bird must be a smart cookie! But you just keep one step ahead of it. When you said you shared the medicine I gulped until I read you faked it!!

And speaking of birds I like your little pencil drawing of the bird.

So you can fool the bird. That is a talent we didn't have when we had Polly.

I love your little drawing. You should call it "Nature's urban struggle."

You seem to be smarter than the bird. . . just barely!

A page a day....wow that's the key huh?

Oh I wish I could draw like that. I would have a cute little sketch book and draw all day. I love your Polly story...made me laugh out loud.

Did you try the little "spoon is an airplane flying into your beak trick"?
Hope she is better soon.
Poor diva baby!

Pets you love them but they can be a worry and troublesome. Our dog Maggie does the under the table or behind a chair trick. I am glad you found a way to get the medicine down.

Oh, that's great! Hope that trick lasts till the pink stuff is all gone.
Love the sketch.

Hi Judie! I sure do remember my chocolate swap buddy!! From the looks around here you are still as talented as ever! Nice catching up with you.

Well heck I thought I had commented on this one guess not. Yes all good mommy's will take meds with their baby. I think that makes you a great mommy. Hope your baby is all better now. Love Hugs and Blessings
