Now What?


They have both perfected this. We moved Miles out of this bed two weeks ago, trying to stretch some time with James. Now what do I do?
  1. wait for him to jump
  2. put them parallel so he maybe fears the distance to the floor more than the distance to his brother
  3. toddler beds
  4. put them bars to bars so they can touch/play and not have need to climb out the end
I'm grasping for straws here. Multiple moms say the day you move to toddler beds, it's over. PARTY EVERY DAY & NIGHT!

ER Kate


We awoke to "Mom, Kate got red medicine on the floor." (7 something am)

Megan's last Poison Control situation prompted me to call. After giving her the details, and her mention of a probable lethal dose (wha' the freak?) we headed to the ER with "possible 125 mil dextromethorphan ingestion" in my head.

It seems Kate is one of those kids that can open child proof Tussin DM. Nice.  From what the bottle was and the bottle is now, not accounting for what was on the carpet, she had overdosed. She was hooked up to monitors for 4 hrs,  a little loopy, drank her weight in apple juice, watched boy cartoons (Cartoon Network) and enamored her nurse.

 Her heart rate is dropping and in a normal yet elevated rate. I doubt she drank the missing 125mil as Poison Control thinks, but she drank more than her body should handle. 

After this and the craisins stabbing, Kate is on heightened watch. My gosh kid

Why I blog.
