The "Whine Medicine"

Preston had his first dose of "whine medicine" today. He's become very whiny over the holiday as our schedule has been more lax and he thinks he gets everything his way. Already, I'm very pleased with the results in curring the symptoms with this medicine. What is this special formula, you ask? If there are any other parents who would like this secret, I'm willing to share it for FREE!!!
I bought some Omega 3 fish oil that tastes AWFUL and have threatened to use it for a few months. It has worked until recently, so I had to follow through today. P got a spoonful and then was sent to his room. He has tried to start the whiny voice this evening, but I just said, "Oh, sounds like you need some more whine medicine!" and he was quick to change his approach. I love it because there's not the associated guilt that comes with soap in the mouth. Plus, it's good for your kids' brains!
