#injections

Chewable pills- he'll crush it into ice cream or frosting for you, followed by soda or ice water.

No chew pills- he'll give you tiny flavored (pellet) ice cubes to swallow with your eyes closed, then the pill, followed by gummy bears and letting you open your eyes.

Injections: He'll practice for an hour before and even then he'll give you a kiss on the forehead, his hand to squeeze and just let you sit there until its over, once it is he gives you a candy and a kiss on the spot.

His method, convincing and food motivation.

Harlequin:

Liquid? He'll offer you a sip of juice and sneak it in at the last second.

Pills? Any kind he'll walk behind you when you speak, tilt your head back and drop the pill in before covering your mouth and gently but firmly rubbing your throat like a puppy to get you to swallow it. "Dearest, daddy swallows fire for his job, it's just a pill-" a pause. "That was rude, I'm sorry kiddo."

Injections? That's Doctors territory. If not Doctor then Jester, he loves you but he's terrified he'll mess it up. "Here, come sit on papas lap, it'll be over soon I promise." But he'll drag you to the tent if he has to.

Jester:

"little one, mommy isn't playing. You need to take this or you'll feel worse and if you feel worse you can't play." And he'll hand you the syringe with the liquid meds. You can do it yourself if it helps.

Pills? Where do you think Harlequin learned it? The amount of times he'll walk behind you, slip his finger in your mouth and push the pill to the back of your throat is crazy. And he wins every time.

He'll hold you the whole time you cry at him for that too. "I know mouse, Mommy's sorry but you had to take it." Doesn't even flinch when you pull his hair. "Shhh, baby that hurts. No thank you."

Injections? He lays you on his bed and makes sure he holds your hand while he cleans and preps the area. He'll lightly pinch the spot, no countdown so you don't tense and then it's done, he also rubs the spot for a few minutes to make sure it doesn't give you muscle pain.

Ticket Taker:

He'll use the mirrors to make you think they're candy. It's not candy but the mirror changes the image, which almost changes the taste. Interesting.

Injections? He has you hold a stuffie and lets you pretend to give the stuffie the shot while he gives you yours. "Good job kiddo, did that hurt so bad?" You nod. "Mhm, did it hurt or was it scary?" Loves for you to think it through. He's very gentle so mostly just scary. But he loves being able to show you the process when he gives you shots, lots of teddy practice for you both!

Doctor:

You're his little one, he has you trained to take meds whenever, telling you the meds will give you super powers. And he's a doctor so of course you believe him.

"mhm, if you take this rather than fighting me it'll make you fly." And he'll carry you around really fast and let you pretend you're flying.
