She Will Eat ANYTHING

I’ve been offline most of the past two days, hiding in bed with a chest cold and rotten sore throat. I’m starting to see a little improvement today, so I wanted to share the following fact with you:

The Poison Control Center says that a 23-month-old girl will not be harmed by eating 28 Halls Defense Vitamin C Drops, Assorted Citrus.

In fact, not only will she not be harmed, she will continue to show her usual, hearty appetite at dinner and consume a hot dog in the bun, some fries, a drink and miscellaneous other snacks throughout the evening until the 28 wrappers are discovered at 8 pm.

BabyGirl got into the bag in my bedroom while I thought she was napping, and came down around 5 so it was at least 3 hours later that we found the wrappers and called Poison Control just to be sure.

The lady on the phone was quite amazed that such a young child would want to unwrap and eat 28 of these, that she would not show signs of a stomach-ache or decreased appetite afterwards. Obviously, she’s never met our BabyGirl.

*Sigh* I’ve had several very curious conversations with poison control over the years. I hope you’re well soon. HUGS.

Yes, but did she say “numnumnum” when you found the papers? I’m glad she came through this ok. The good news is that her immune system should be revving high all winter.

Wow! That must’ve given you quite a scare! I’m glad she’s okay.

So, I have good news. You were randomly selected as the winner of my hair bow giveaway!

I believe in your comment on my original post you mentioned that you were interested in the triple stack Halloween bow. I’d be happy to make that for you and get it out next week, in plenty of time for Halloween. Or, take a look at some of the new bows & clips I posted on today’s post to see if you’d like to change your mind. :) If you decide on a clip, rather than a bow, I’ll send you a matching set, since they’re small.

Let me know what you decide and CONGRATULATIONS!

My dd (now 4 and a half) used to eat just about anything. It actually worried me terribly. She still has a very healthy appetite but her eating has slowed considerably.

Good thing it didn’t make your daughter sick. I hope she is still feeling well.
