poison control

Yes, I called it. I haven't had to for over a year, but tonight Amelia bit into one of those glow bracelets. We were sitting in the car while Ryan ran into the grocery store and I looked back and saw the crease of her mouth glowing along with her fingers. It didn't bother her right away, but then it must have gotten into her mouth. She cried pretty hard. The lady at poison control said that it probably burns like hot pepper or something but its not toxic or anything like that. phew! At the end of the call they always ask for your zip code, your name and the child's name. I wonder if they've logged all of the times I've called and are like, hmm, she's the one who sprayed ant spray on the baby bottles and her kid ate desitin. I can't remember the other reasons I've called, but they always make me feel better.
