Vitamins

Paige really likes taking vitamins. I didn't know how much she liked the taste of them until we were at my aunt's house in California. While we were there she ate a weeks worth of children's chewables! We all stayed in the same bedroom while we were there. The kids were on an air mattress and we were in a bed. On our last morning there Paige woke up earlier than the rest of us and got into the tupperware I brought all of our vitamins in. She ate all of the chewables that were left. Two whole vitamins and two halves (she takes a half and Carson takes a whole). Thus, she had a 6 day dose in one shot. We woke up to Paige vomiting bright red all over my aunt;s WHITE carpet! It scared me to death because it looked like blood. So I snatched her up and ran to the bathroom, that is when I caught the fruity whiff of her breath. I found the tupperware empty of the children's chewables and we called poison control. They said she would be fine she would probably just have an upset tummy, check! My Aunt Marilyn, cousin Talisha, and I spent the next hour scrubbing the carpet. Because of a wonderful product called Oxyclean it all came out! Paige was fine and I learned a valuable lesson. Don't save space by packing a little tupperware. Just bring the childproof bottle!

Then, this morning she was looking into a box of cereal and she said, "Mommy I don't see any vitamins in here. Where are they?" I am attributing her knowledge of vitamin fortified cereal to the commercials she sees on Nick Jr. and Noggin.
