Mini Milestone

After 5+ years of patient persuasion, I've finally gotten all three of my kiddos to swallow pills without making a fuss, major gagging or the sit-on-the-tongue-until-it's-too-soggy problem. Woo hoo.

Call me crazy, but can I count this as a milestone?! We've not had any in a while and we need one.

hmmm.....i'm pretty sure that i would count that as a milestone.
especially since i am in that category of gagging on pills....i don't swallow them very well (hence i NEVER take prenatals....they are HUGE!) so i'm trying my luck at taking folic acid supplements ahead of time and hopefully i'll be in the clear (that was not an announcement of any kind....)
congrats on you madam nurse on getting it done. ;)

Since I couldn't really swallow even the tiniest of pills until I was about 50, I think that's a pretty remarkable accomplishment, for you AND for the kids!

That is a great milestone! I remember my mom getting me to learn how and I think we went through 3 large cups of water and many tears before I swallowed that darn Tylenol!!
