Poison Control

There was a time in my life when all three older boys were young that Poison Control was almost, or should have been, on my speed dial. I had the number memorized, and needed it frequently. I am feeling a little drained from yesterdays adrenaline rush with Carters burn and just the fact I haven't had Chet home for a while (well, 2-1/2 days with 5 young boys, but that's a long time for me!). I found Colby with a new tube of toothpaste, sucking on it! He gets into EVERYTHING, way more than any other of my boys. I cannot keep him out of the kitchen and bathroom drawers. Razors and medicine are WAY out of reach for him, but not the toothpaste. I grabbed the tube that was about 1/4 gone and read the back. Of course it said if ingested, call poison control immediately! Luckily, they just had me give him lots of milk, and watch for an upset stomach. Whew, I really thought that was going to be a lot more serious. Again, thank you guardian angels!!! I know Heavenly Father loves me!
