You can only go to bed once you've had your ice cream

It's early days yet, but this montelukast Jambeans is on seems to be working wonders. We give it to her as soon as the early symptoms of a cold begin to show and continue for a one or two week course. Twice we've given it to her now, and twice she's had just a cold. At worst she's a fever during the night. But her breathing hasn't been out of control and she's been mainly well in herself and able to go to school (as in nursery. We call it school. It's gonna make actually going to school a whole lot easier.)

It's taken an enormous weight of our shoulders. Jasmine's quality of life seems to be on the up, and no longer do we anticipate the onset of a cold with dread and stress. I've also noticed we don't snap at each other so much (or maybe, we just snap about other things).

Montelukast has to be taken with cold food. So every night we entreat Jasmine to have 'ice cream with magic dust.' Normally, she's totally up for it. But on occasion when she's been tired it's just "NO! NO ICE CREAM. I tired. Want to go upstairs" and we get all disciplinarian and have to go "Jasmine. You can only go to bed once you've had your ice cream" which is just totally weird.
