Well, here in the Woodruff Family your not truly an official Woodruff child until Poison Control has had to be called. Mia's official! We've now had not only our first ER visit with the head injury the day before Thanksgiving, but now we've moved on to ingesting poison, Frizz-Ease to be exact.
My daughter H~ was out at a babysitting job, my son J~ had a major headache and was in bed, my son I~ was playing on the computer, and Mia and my dear husband A~ were on the couch watching a football game. This was the scene when I left for a mere 20 minutes to run to Kroger's to purchase dinner.
When I came home everyone was in the same spot, except my dear husband had fallen asleep and Mia was no longer in the living room with A~. I asked my son I~ where Mia was. "I dunno" was his response. I went through the house calling her name and found her in the dark in my bedroom. When I turned on the light, there she was in my bed licking her lips. In her hand was the empty bottle of Frizz-Ease that my daughter had used and NOT put back where she'd gotten it. Thank God there was only a tiny bit left. She had even stuck her tongue in it to lick out the residue.
I was so angry I couldn't see straight! But, I calmly called our dear friends, who I'm sure know us on a first name basis now, over at Poison Control and asked for some advise. They said that she would have cramping, nausea, and vomiting but it wouldn't kill her. No need to go to the hospital unless the vomiting became uncontrollable (how do you control vomiting?). Well, she must have the stomach of steel, because she never even acted ill. No cramps, nausea, or vomiting. Thank you Lord!
Here's some photos of Mia eating (food not Frizz-Ease)
