Allergy Season

After just getting over a bad cold, Brandon woke up yesterday with his eyes wide shut - literally. His eyes were swollen, red, watery and felt "itchy and yucky" (that's a direct quote). So I gladly called in sick and took him to the doctor. Long story short, Brandon has had his first bout with seasonal allergies. We left the doctor's office about an hour later with prescriptions for eye drops and Allegra.

Well, the eye drops were a nonstarter. Trying to give it to him was like trying to teach a fish how to do a cartwheel. The Allegra however was a different story. As I am pouring a teaspoon of Allegra into the dosage cup, I try to convince Brandon that it would help his eyes feel much, much better. I must have underestimated my persuasive abilities because Brandon bravely took the dosage cup from me and tried to pour it into his left eye.
