Poison Control = Speed Dial

So once again, to all you truly caring and loving parents let this be a lesson to you. Do not leave anything that is even remotely able to be put in into a young child's mouth, (who may I say is having four molars come in at once and whose mouth hurts like the dickens and thus will chew on wooden blocks like a beaver to relieve the pain) such as a small wooden match anywhere in the three feet from the ground area. Because if above said achey mouth toddler finds said match and chews off the match head then mother will frantically call knowledgeable grandmother to be reassured that matches are not poisonous and greatly concerned grandmother then tells mother she had better call poison control. Just to let you know one must eat over 20 wooden matches or 2 full books of papermatches for it to be of any concern. Just in case any truly loving parent out there cares. (And by the way Mommy is now certain that she wants to find house that has NOTHING in the three from the ground area for my safety sake.)

Ryker, you live a fun filled life.

My biggest surprise from this post is that poison control knows how many wooden matches/paper matches are unsafe to eat? Thanks for posting that useful tidbit of info that I may have otherwise never known.

Did I ever tell you about Ella eating Desitin or the Anti-fungal stuff for the lawn? Ironically the first stuff is to protect against diaper rash, and the later gave her the worst case of diaper rash. Her poor bottom looked as if she had a first-degree burn.

Yes, I called poisen control on both accounts. Here's to toddler-hood.

They certainly keep you running. It's never boring at the Thornton house!
