A Spoon Full of Sugar

Poor Sulamander is on oral antibiotics again... and has decided he doesn't like them anymore (who can blame him).  He has also figured out that he can spit them out.  And straight refuse to take them.  So I have been sneaking them into chocolate milk to get him to slurp them down fast.
But last night we ran out of milk, and I had to resort to plan B.  Lure him in with chocolate syrup on my finger, then let him see me put it on the end of the syringe, then watch him deal with the inner conflict of whether it was worth taking medicine.  He always opted for the chocolate, but would run away squealing when he realized he had been tricked (over and over again).
