Have your child close there eyes. Put one drop on the inner part of the eye lid where they meet and then have them open there eye and turn so the drop falls into there eye. Repeat with the other eye.
Thanks Ms Deb!

Update
Me - I want warm weather and I want it now!
Dylan - enjoying school, riding his big boy bike everywhere, using his spider man umbrella, hating eye drops. I just got a tip from Ms. Deb; I'll let you know how it works.
Zachary - standing without help, not walking but pushing things around the house, throwing tantrums, getting teeth 5, 6, & 7, sleeping erratically. Currently sleeping.
Mommy - Work is challenging and assistant is on vacation making working very tiring. It doesn't help that Zachary's engages in one to two wrestling matches every late night to early morning.
Hey it's small but that would be indicative of the time I have for posting observations. Not much. I'll publish the eye drop trick if it's worthwhile....I'm not holding my breath.

Today is cold
and I'm taking this opportunity to let Zachary sleep on me as long as he likes. The post will be short cause it's hard to type with one hand. I'm off to play mafia wars on facebook.

A bit too much
On a day that hasn't gone as planned....probably because I tried to do too many errands...Dylan and I are having fun updating the blogs while Zachary naps. (This also means that Dylan isn't taking one)
It all started when I went into get the list from my first delivery. I locked that doors, left the car running (with the kids in it) and walked into the entry way. After I got the list (I was literally gone 1 min.) I tried to unlock the doors with my remote.....it didn't work. And to make matters worse, I left my cell in the car. So, I'm sitting outside the building with my car running, children inside and no way to get help.
Since I'm so smart, and there are social workers who have offices in the building, I asked one to use their phone. Thankfully, Tricia was able to come straight over from work (we were only 1 mile away) and unlock the door. I was able to finish the job and get going on my way.
Another note, it's sometimes a good idea to warm frozen breast milk on the dashboard. Today was not one of them. As I was driving in the snowstorm, I periodically took the tube of milk off the dashboard and shook it. Most of the time, and I've done this before, it works fine. But this time it spurted all over the place. Needless to say, I wasn't very happy.
Then, off to REI to pick-up an exchange. I think, oh a quick pit stop for a diaper change and window shop while Zachary drinks his bottle. I didn't realize that today was the largest sale day of the year. Cars everywhere! It took me 20 minutes just to wait in line and pay for the item I had shipped there. Not to mention the time it took for me to keep Dylan away from the flaming Frisbee toy that he pesters me about. Zachary's diaper change was annoying not because they didn't have a changing table in the men's bathroom, but because they left a toilet plunger in the handicap/baby changing stall.....and guess who played with it and threw a fit when I made him stop. Any other day of the week I can walk in and out without a problem. I didn't buy anything except two Clif bars (one pumpkin pie and one chunky peanut butter flavored) because someone was hungry and ate all of the snacks I packed for him. He didn't like either. So I ate them.
Beer pick-up at Frank Beer was uneventful.
Dylan ate a good lunch and playing quietly in his room. My stomach is full of Clif bars and feeling funny. Zachary is sleeping(and recently moved to me to finish it).

Zachary & and Grandma Johnson
This may seem strange to many of you but I've been convinced for awhile that Zachary's been seeing ghosts. And after our experiences over the past few months, I'm sure we know whom, My grandma Johnson. In the hospital Zachary would smile (not just any smile a huge smile) at random areas of the room. As he got older it happened less but on X-mas eve it happened again and I'm convinced.
We went to X-mas eve service at the church where my dad's family (my great grandparents, grandparents) were charter members. Anyway, I didn't think about it initially but Zachary was constantly looking over his shoulder smiling and giggling. I thought he was making faces at the lady three rows behind us but most of the time, she wasn't paying any attention to him. I also noticed that he was waving less like Zachary waves (hand over mouth and saying ahhhhh) and more like my grandma used to wave(like you're making a shadow puppet on the wall). That's the way he was waving and he hasn't done it since.
Needless to say I wasn't quick to believe this but I got to thinking....my grandparents always sat 1/2 way up on the left side of the sanctuary and we were right in front of that. It gets a little more peculiar, I have a bookmark with my grandmother's eulogy and photo printed on it that I still use. Tricia showed it to Zachary the other night and he got a huge smile on his face, like Tricia said at the time, it's the smile he gives when he recognizes someone. The next night, we tried it with different pictures of relatives on the wall (some he knew and smiled at and others he didn't and we got no reaction)
As a child, I remember her playful nature, and as I got older watching and seeing her affinity for children. I can think of no better place for her to visit than a house of god and playing games with children.

at walgreens
Dylan informed me today, right before we got out of the car, that if I bought him one more car from Walgreen's it would be his last. "then, I'll be done with cars", he said. DID I HEAR YOU CORRECTLY? DONE? That's hilarious! I was laughing at his proposal and trying to tell him that it's not nice to tell lies to get your way.
He's manipulating me.....or is he? Maybe it's true and I won't get to buy more cars for Dylan. Wait there's still Zachary, no problem, bring on the action figures!
(I don't have any witnesses because Zachary was sleeping in the car and in the teeny tiny shopping carts that they provide. So, I figured that I would make anyone that reads this a witness. Also, I didn't buy him a car with the hopes that he will forget about forgetting about cars.)
