Poison Control Center

This all happened yesterday morning...
I was talking to my good friend Katherine on the phone about possibly getting together when I heard a scrapping and rattling noise. I quickly walked down the hallway only to see Makena standing on her stool with the linen closet doors open. In her right hand is the bottle of teething tablets and she is shaking the tiny tablets into her left hand. I yelled, "stop! Katherine, let me call you back" and grabbed the bottle out of her hand. I asked Makena to spit out the things in her mouth and used my finger to swipe out her mouth all the while, asking "did you take these? Did you eat any?" She said no but I still called poison control. Guess what the PCC lady said? "Oh, she could take the whole bottle and be fine. It is just powder sugar and doesn't even work." I was relieved to know that she would be fine so I asked the PCC lady why the work for my child. She said that is was just in the child's mind. Hmmmmmmmmmmm...very interesting. Well, I hung up the phone and told Makena to never open them again. I also put them up and realized that I am going to have to move my medicine cabinet as she can reach it now. Makena was fine the rest of the day. But, I do think that those teething things work for her so I will continue to use them! Besides, the ingredients listed are not powdered sugar....
