Poison Control # 1-800-222-1222

Why the sad face?

It could have been worse.

Jenna got into the locked cleaning supply cabinet which happened to be unlocked at the moment. She decided she wanted to be a mommy and clean the wood floor grabbing the first cleaner she sees. As she's cleaning she sees a ladybug on Eric's cheek (this is her confession I hear later as I'm driving to the doctor) and decides to help him out by spraying the darn bug. She must have gotten it because I didn't see any bug in sight. It probably disinigrated with the chemicals she used. I didn't know the poison control number but there is a medical emergency number on the back of the cleaner, probably because of it's harsh chemicals. Eric's rubbing his eye and I spend the next 15 or so minutes traumatizing him by pouring water all over his face. End up going to the doctor for a follow-up and Eric has a chemical burn. Nothing they can do for him and hes fine now. Just fortunate it didn't get into his eyes! But he has a nice rosy cheek.
Reminder-lock up your cleaning cabinet. And if it's locked make sure it's really locked.

What mom hasn't called poison control? Jacob ate an entire bottle of gummy vitamins and we had to call. Eric's liitle cheek looks so sad. By the way, I can't believe Ryan is 8! I know time flies, but where did the years go?
