Yeah, I hadn't thought of the chewable form.  That is a good idea.  The
liquid does taste bad, I've taken it before. It's just that after all this
time it seems like it should just be a part of his bedtime routine.

Oh, I'm sure he does look at the walker differently now.  He has a pacer
gait trainer and they are specifically made with removeable parts so that
the more independent the child becomes the more pieces you can remove from
the walker.  Usually, the first thing removed is the seat, after the child
starts walking with the seat in.  That has been where Morgan is at, except
that recently he wasn't wanting to walk in it so his therapist said take
the seat out.  Now he definitely thinks its too much work.  

The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names.
