ahem…ladies and gentlemen…

I am back tonight from a few weeks off from blogging. I am not sure where my nights have gone lately. Oh, that’s right…my Dad had bought me the first season of The Wire (HBO) and I watched 2-3 episodes a night for little over a week. Well anyway, here I am trying to jumpstart my blogging again. I find it relaxing and fun. Sometimes stressful when trying to think up new topics.

Well tonight was easy. My son helped me think of it. Actually, he didn’t help think of it, he just gave me the idea from a very cute thing he said…”Daddy, Bears eat honey!”

Huh?

Yeah, that’s what I thought. What does he mean?? Then it struck me….I had asked him if he would like to try a spoonful of honey to help soothe his nagging cough. And again his response was “Bears eat honey!”

See…it makes sense. He’s four. He reads books with bears. Bears that eat honey. Just like Winnie the Pooh. And the same reason the image I chose for this post is a honey bear. Those poor bees…they get no credit. I’ve never seen a BEE-SHAPED honey container.

So anyway, I thought it was cute what my son said and wanted to share that with everyone. Also, here is a post I wrote back in March 2008 about the same thing…the Nighttime Coughing.

By the way, all is quiet in the bedrooms. Guess the humidifer, vapor rub, a little bit of honey and his grape lollipop worked!

Disclaimer: there is no scientific proof that a lollipop helps soothe a nighttime cough…but holy crap I think it worked!!

Also I grabbed the image from Carlisle Honey, check out their site.

  • sick kids and honey go together like baseball and hot dogs. Can't even begin to measure the amount of honey we have gone through this winter alone- we've had a lot of colds this year. Another thing you can try is kid's airborne- thsi stuff works great and kid's think it's cool to drink.
  • haha!! like the analogy! i'll have to try kids airborne!
  • When I was a kid my parents had bees and we sold honey , so I have filled way too many of those damn bears ! haha
  • So glad this post wasn't about this:
