Dad for the win!

Henry has had a fever for a few days, so he's been taking a lot of liquid ibuprofen.  We started with Advil brand grape flavor, but it was running out so David picked up some more.  He brought home generic, dye-free berry flavor.  (This was not a mistake - I almost always buy generic, and dye-free is my preference.)  Henry reacted very poorly to the non-colored medicine.  He only fought a little, but I had to do a bit of forcing for a couple of doses.

David suggested using food coloring to make it more palatable for Henry, so we gave it a try.  He turned the medicine blue, which was Henry took a little easier than the cloudy white medicine.  When it was time for the next dose, Henry said he wanted grape, so David turned the medicine purple.  I don't know exactly what's going on in Henry's head - he still makes the same faces when I give him the medicine, but he doesn't fight.  I asked him if it was good and he just looked at me.  He didn't say yes, but he didn't say no, either.
