Glue

Well you've heard the story of the Vaseline, but my two year old's antics don't stop there. You see I know most of the people at the ER by name.

At the beginning of this summer all three of my girls were playing with friends in my neighbors back yard.The day was running smooth, I really never say anything bad coming. But it came, it really came. I walked out back to check on the girls and tell them they only had a few more minutes to play. As I went to go inside i felt a small hand on my thigh. It was my two year old. She was staring up at me with something in her mouth with grass and dirt stuck to it. After closer examination i yelled for my husband to get outside quick. She was having trouble breathing and whatever was under the grass and dirt was her from opening her mouth. My husband arrived outside and after seeing his daughters condition immediately told me to get her things together to go to the ER. Well I was getting everything ready to leave for the hospital my husband pried what he could out of our daughters mouth. He handed the chunk of whatever to me as he carried her to the car.She wasn't crying at all just smiling now that she was able to breath easier. On the way there I cleared what grass and dirt I could away to find a tube of liquid nail with tiny teeth marks in it. My panic grew at this point.
At the ER they rushed her back and began examining her and calling poison control. My baby did not want any of this she was ready to play again.
By the end we found out that she was going to be just fine. Liquid nail is non-toxic, not that i recommend eating it ever. And that the caked on bits on her teeth, tongue, and lips would dissolve eventually. Thank god. It took over a week before all the glue was gone from her teeth and face.
Oh, the Joy and wonder of toddler hood.
