I have been a mom for a little over 4 years. Today was the first time I have ever had to call Poison Control. My little curious Reesie decided to dig through the trash and pull out my foam brush full of Americana Baby Blue Acrylic Paint. By the time I turned around and saw what she was doing, she had the whole thing in her mouth like a Popsicle and baby blue paint forming a ring around her lips. She was quite happy---until I took it away, then the screaming began. I called the pediatrician who informed me I needed to call poison control. By the time I got the poison control lady on the phone Reese was in a full fledged fit. The lady was very concerned and asked me if the screaming began after she ate the paint. I told her no, the screaming began after I took the paint away.
Apparently acrylic paint is one of the things you want your child to eat if they are going to eat something they aren't supposed to...it's non toxic and only causes a belly ache for the baby. It doesn't appear Reese has a belly ache, but I sure have a head ache from listening to her protestant screams!

You better stock up on some blue popsicles for her next tantrum :-)!
This is sounding all too familiar to the goings on in our house! :) The other day, Addyson had her head tipped back, trying to "drink" the liquid dishwashing soap. It wasn't open, but she got a good taste of it and wasn't too impressed! I need to get some locks on my cupboards asap!
You know, they tell us not to yell, but you tell me that when all three of them are screaming, singing, crying, etc...HOW else am I supposed to get their attention? Sheesh...
What a blessing it was non toxic. How scary!Glad to hear she's safe!
Haha okay I know I shouldn't laugh but just so you know, I have also had to call poison control! Zach is my trouble maker and he can get into ANYTHING especially childproof drawers. He got into the Pinesol and actually liked the taste of it. Luckily, nothing happened...or maybe that's why he twitches. haha just kidding! Anyways, atleast it wasn't toxic! YEA!
Poor little Reese! You should have just let her finish it off if it is non-toxic (It is comments like this that remind me I am not ready to have kids).
Reese is funny. I'm glad it wasn't toxic.
Bella tagged me so I'm tagging you. See my blog.
