So....where do I start??
Monday morning Ella gets an owie (ok...that is mommy talk for a scratch) she needs a bandaid. I go to the cupboard in the kitchen and hand Ella the green basket of bandaids (also in the basket are the pepcid complete chewable tablets for those nights when you get a little heart burn from the pizza you made)...back to the story...I leave the basket on the couch in the living room and let Ella put her own bandaid on and proceede up the stairs to the laundry room to get the wonderful basket of clothing to be folded. I come back down about 10 mintues later and find the lid of the pepcid lying on the floor...and Molly's face covered in pink and purple "stuff." I realize she has eaten several pepcid tablets and is really quite enjoying them...they are candy to her! (yucky...have you ever eaten them, it's like chewing on chalk)
Well, I quickly text Spencer (he is at school in class) to tell him of the discovery and all he has to say is, well I think she will be fine! WHAT...do I need to call the doctor or poision control?? The bottle clearly states..."do not administer to children under the age of 12....and do not take more than __ in a 24 hour period...
Molly woke up today with a sore bum and the runs...might I add...all day!! Poor girl has felt horrible...but she is still so happy...aren't children really the greatest, even when they really aren't feeling well.
Morale of the story....don't let your child eat Pepcid...this is not good for their little tummy's.
p.s. I have adjusted all of the medications to one basket out of the reach of children...should have done that a long time ago... :)

Oh man. They sure can get into things quickly. That is not fun having sick kids. Hope she is feeling better.
Poor girl, Hailey did that exact same thing when we lived in Logan. Girls...... gotta love them!
