Let me just start off by saying that the boys have never gotten in to any medicine before today (with the exception of Benson getting in to Melatonin at Grandma's... and that had NO affect on him). Britton some how decided he was a monkey today and climbed to the highest shelf in the pantry and ate EX-LAX. It was not even the chocolate kind! After downing two pills, Benson came running in to the bathroom (yes I was going potty) to tell me about Britton taking the "Big People" medicine. I ran in to find blue all over Britton's mouth and him looking at me saying, "Yummy, Mommy." AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I, of course, freaked out and called Poison Control (thanks for pointing me in that direction Jessi). It took about 20 min of me being on the phone with them (because I was crying so hard) for them to let me know just to keep him hydrated, and keep him on the BRAT diet. So of course he has been pounding the water, pedialite, bananas, toast, rice, and applesauce.
As you can tell from this picture it has taken A LOT out of him, and I think tonight will be a long night for both of us. It is a little tramatizing for him, and even for Benson to watch. I hope it has taught them both that big kid medicine is NO GOOD!
My poor little guy...
