Patience Saved...for now.

I am a patient person. Ask Dad and he will agree. This week B tested my patience and he won. With a nasty cold and 102 fever, antibiotics and a Tylenol/Motrin cocktail were in order. That is at the least four doses of medicine per day. Medicine could be made of candy and kids wouldn't want it which makes the house a war zone around medication time. Until today when I discovered a forgotten purchase - The Medicator. I think I bought it at The Dollar Tree a month ago knowing B would need some sort of medication again soon. 

When I found it in the cabinet I immediately ripped it open, thoroughly cleaned it and loaded it with amoxicillin. Now listen here, it was down in 30 seconds. Then I put some infant Motrin in...20 seconds and gone. B will wisen up soon but for now I will enjoy.

Having a baby changes everything and changes you as a person. While I may be a bit less patient, Dad has learned some patience. It has been a wild seven months. Needless to say we have learned a lot but have so much more to go.

Thankfully, mom has her own medicator known as wine.

Tidbit Tuesday - Bottle Brush

Since becoming parents, we have discovered a few tricks. Some make life easier, some have grown out of necessity and others are just plain funny. This piece of advice covers all three. 

Dad discovered early on that the bottle brush comes in handy for cleaning wine glasses! We go through a lot of bottles and a lot of wine glasses and Dad does most of the dishes so any streamlining of the process is a plus. 

Bottles for everyone...who says men can't multitask? 

We like the Munchkin Deluxe Bottle Brush. It's got a nipple brush that fits in to the handle and a suction cup on the end so you don't have to just lay the brush in the sink. 

Handy and inexpensive.
