Balmex and Toothpaste Don't Mix!

I was feeding Michael, this afternoon, enjoying the fact that he's still a baby, and better yet, that he was sleeping while I was holding him (especially since he's so anti-cuddly). Anyway, it was quiet - unusually so, and that should have tipped me off...

When I left the room, I see Elise with white cream all over her mouth and fingers. I'm thinking she's eaten cream cheese cookies, toothpaste, but I couldn't figure it out - it had this weird smell to it. She refused to speak as she'd been caught doing something she shouldn't have. So, eventually, after searching her room, I discovered it - she'd been eating Balmex!!

So, after a call to Poison Control (I guess you have to eat a lot of it to have it do anything to you), Elise and I had a little talk about not eating diaper rash cream!! Ah... It's too disgusting to even think about. We've been brushing her teeth with a little toothpaste and apparently, she thought she was giving her teeth a good scrub with the sticky cream. Such is life in the Greenburg home...

  4. Oh dear! I left a comment on your blog a few days ago on this post (or so I thought it was this post) and it's not here!! I hope I didn't leave a post intended for you on someone else's blog by mistake, that'd be pretty funny if I did though.

    I wanted to congratulate you on your 5 year mark of being an official member of the church :) I'm also glad that Elise is fine considering her toothpaste mix up. lol
