Good Helper

Lately, Sammy likes to go into Sophia's room in the morning and say hello to her.  Sometimes she's already awake, singing, and she's happy to see him.  Sometimes she's asleep, and he wakes her up with his singing.  I believe both of my children are walking musicals. 

This morning, Sammy and Sophia were talking to one another and singing while Mike and I were still laying in bed.  We can see them on the baby monitor, and all seemed to be going well.  However, Sammy left Sophia's room and ran downstairs to our room.  Where Mike happened to notice a creamy white residue on Sammy's hands.

After asking him what it was, Sammy revealed to us that it was diaper cream.  We asked him what he was doing with it, wherein he shared with us that Sophia was hungry and he had been feeding it to her.  Aaaaaagggggghhhhhhh! 

Mike runs upstairs, grabs Sophia, while I google the number for poison control.  Here's how she looked . . .

There's definitely Triple Paste all over her face, and some in her mouth.  I got Poison Control on the phone, which by the way is a HUGE service.  All I had to do was tell them her age and the name of the product.  I didn't have to tell them ingredients or anything - they immediately knew all that was in it. 

Just so you know, if your child happens to ingest diaper cream . . . it's not harmful.  If they eat a lot of it, it can have a laxative-like effect.  But otherwise, they're ok.  Just wondering . . . if they get diarrhea from eating diaper rash cream, do you think it causes diaper rash?  Or does it kind of cancel it out?
