Supplements

Kate is starting new supplements and some are in capsule form.  So, she has been practicing taking capsules.  I got some empties at the health food store and she was trying to swallow those.  She is convinced that they won't fit down her throat so she waits until they are soft and squishes them and then swallows them.  So, today I filled one with vitamin C powder.  She swallowed it after it dissolved a bit.  I realized that she doesn't know how to gulp water.  She just swallows a little at time.  So I was explaining how to gulp and she was doing it pretty well.  So, I had her try a B vitamin.  She was pretty scared to do it, you know the whole fitting issue.  At last she tried it and it broke open and she swallowed it.  At least it went down.  And she didn't get upset by the bad taste of the B vitamin.  Phew.  I am excited for when it becomes easy for her.  We will keep practicing!  Luckily she is willing to practice.  Grateful for that!
