Last night I almost won the Mother of the Year award.
Did you know that for a 2 1/2 year old, who weighs 31-35 lbs, that it takes eating 5-500mg tylenols to worry about toxicity? I do. Lilypalooza walked up to me and handed me a tylenol. I asked….where did you get this? She said…your purse. I asked…did you eat any? She said….yes. I asked….how many? (fear crawling through my body) She said….just one. I asked….did you eat two? She said….no, just one. Phone call to the poison control hotline (my first in 6 1/2 years of parenting) led me to the information that saved me. (I don't ever have meds of any kind in my purse….but I slipped a couple in one day in fear that I would need them during a 12 hour workshop. And obviously forgot to remove them….never again!).
These sweet girls were from a playdate mini-session at the park.

Yikes! Glad she's okay.
I've called Poison Control too... turns out eating a little bit of silica out of those moisture control packets is no big deal. :S Things I shouldn't have to deal with in an average day!
