TEMSK Number 6

Time for another installment of THINGS EVERY MOTHER SHOULD KNOW.

Invest in Dum-dum suckers. They are miracles on a stick.

Example: Tristan went to the dr yesterday. He got 5 shots (which he fought like a little lion - dude is strong) I, of course, forgot to put Dum-dums in my purse, but I also didn't know he had to have 5 shots to start preschool. Anyway, cried himself to sleep on the way home. Got home - very unhappy Tristan. Unhappy Tristan is terrible. Really, really terrible. So I asked him if he wanted some dum-dums. He wanted 12. He got 12 (hey, don't judge, 5 shots are painful). He spent the next hour and a half happily eating the miracles on sticks quietly and watching cartoons. Peace and harmony restored.

Take my advice. Keep yourself sane and kids happy. Buy Dum-dums.

Hooray for candy! 12 Dum-dums should cure something. I bet next time he picks a bigger number though. LOL Was he running around on a sugar high for hours?

Is he excited about school??
