Been a Long Time

Hello readers. It has been a long time since I posted to this blog. I was going to remove it from the Internet but have seen some recent activity and think that the information on it should be shared. I have since finished my degree and my child I spoke about in the blog has moved forward in life. He is now 6. WOW!!
The new challenges in his life are this entering school. He went for his Kindergarten shots last year and the same distraction techniques worked wonders. He walked from the appointment proud of how strong he was. He has had some struggles with the school system and I am reading this amazing book right now titled "The mind of boys". It recognizes the differences between boys and girls learning styles. It provides techniques on how to make your boy's school life successful. Once I have finished the book I will write about my findings.

I wanted to write today to develop some discussion. In the Province that I live in, in Canada, they have decided to use the "sugar soothers" a gauze wrapped around a sugar bunch that has been dipped in grape juice, to assist infants with pain management during immunizations. What are your thoughts about this?
