"Fixating" Update...

At the end of the school day, yesterday, I checked with my son's teacher to see how the cough drops idea went. It took his mind off of coughing, yes indeedy...he went from fixating on his cough, to fixating on how "spicy" the HONEY flavored cough drops were (I did try one btw...syrupy sweet is to put it mildly). So to get his mind off of the cough drops, the teacher resorted to giving him a Life Saver - which stopped the fixating on the cough and the "spicy" cough drop Mommy gave him. Now my son is asking for those yummy Life Saver "cough drops" his teacher gave him..."cough, cough...Can you get some Mom? Please? Cough, cough..."
