Today I learned.........

that the oil from the wallflowers (bath and body) are not poisonous.

So, I'm sitting in the computer room checking my normal websites and all of the sudden I hear Evan making this gagging noise. I look over and there is wallflower holder in one hand the oil in the other.......I pick him up and he smells like evergreen. It's all around his mouth.......so of course, I'm about to freak and I'm asking him if he drank it.....which hello, he's 19 months old, of course he's not going to tell me that he drank it. All he kept doing was making this gagging sound and this little face like he just ate something nasty. So, I'm maintaining my composure and get my phone....Thank God for Poison Control.

~ So for future reference, should anyone's child ever consume this oil (not too much though), here's what they told me to do......

It's not poisonous, it just leaves an unpleasent, burning sensation in the mouth.
1. wipe out the child's mouth.
2. give the child something cold to drink.
3. monitor the child.

That's it. So, needless to say I was very relieved.
