Poison Control

So we made our first call to poison control. I'm amazed we haven't had to call sooner. Luckily, none of the boys put stuff in their mouth much. Riley is a different story. That or in my old age I just don't keep up with her as well as I did the boys. I was trying to make dinner (that's a whole different story), Doug was playing Wii, and the boys were bugging me about dinner. Riley was washing her hands. All of our kids have gone through a phase of playing in the sink. As long as they don't make a mess we choose not to make a big deal about it. Well Riley found the hand soap. Doug went to check on her and her chin was soapy and her breath smelled like soap. We weren't sure if she ate any or not. Doug read the back of the soap container and it said "if ingested call poison control". Well we did, after we searched for the number for a few minutes. Apparently with soap the worst thing that can happen is that they get naseous and throw-up. We realized after the call that she porbably didn't swallow any. She did get some in her eyes though and they were very red and puffy. I guess we need to keep a better eye on her. She is keeping me on my toes!
