Cough Medicine

topic posted Mon, May 28, 2007 - 11:42 PM by  Sarah
The other night I was singing bedtime songs to my two year old son when out of the blue he says "mommy, I need cough medicine, I'm sick". I tell him he isn't sick and doesn't need cough medicine. He replies with and emphatic, "but mommy, I neeeeeed cough medicine". I tell him that he doesn't have a cough or runny nose so therefore he does not need it. He says, "mommy, if you give me cough medicine I promise to get a cough." It was so funny. I love that he is at this great age where he can express his own thoughts.
