Free association and vitamins

Walking back home after dropping K off at daycare, I thought how nice it was to be outside on a warm, sunny day, the first one in many months. Finally, I'd be able to coax K outside more often. He could use some Vitamin D. Which reminded me that I'd forgotten about his vitamins for the past two days. He loves to take them because they're gummy vitamins. I used to hate taking my vitamins. My parents used to put them right in my mouth to make sure I ate them. When they decided to rearrange our bedroom much later, they were not happy to find a year's worth of sticky vitamins in the space between the bed and the wall.

When I'm losing my patience with K, I should remember that vitamin-spitting little girl who always frowned for pictures and hid when company came to visit.
