Hello...Poison Control?

Funny story...

Jen was changing Jack's diaper on the floor just before lunch yesterday and when she was all finished, went to fix lunch for all the boys. The next thing she knew, she turned around and Jack's mouth and hands were covered in Desitin. He had gotten a bit hungry and decided that the tub of Desitin was more delicious than whatever pureed fruit/veggie was being prepared.

Jen quickly called the poison control number and explained what had happened. The guy on the phone let Jen know that it wasn't harmful, but she needed to feed him to get it out of his throat and down into his stomach. He said he might throw it up but he would be fine. He ended up with no side effects, probably becuase he didn't eat too much of it and Jen caught it in time, but it was still a bit scary for her for a minute. Turns out poison control gets 2-3 calls a day about diaper rash ointment that got ingested!!

When I got home for lunch, both Jack and Parker were in their high chairs eating lunch with Momma and they couldn't have been cuter. They both had the biggest smiles on their faces when Jen told me the story of the events that just took place. I looked over at Jack and that huge smile turned into his "Desitin Eating Grin."

Just another day in Connisonville.
