Green Glitter Pen

Oh My.

Leilani has always been allowed to use my art supplies. They are much nicer than the stuff for kids. The colors are brighter, they really cover the background… it just looks better. She is a responsible kid, I mean she would not drink paint… WRONG.

She is a good kid, but she still sticks stuff in her mouth. Today we all sat together and played with a doodle toy that makes beautiful spirals – we used the gel writers that I use for my scrapbooks. We took turns making one mandala, all of a sudden she spat. Green. Lots of green. She had chewed on the pen and it had broken open in her mouth.
I washed her mouth (with toothpaste), tried to calm her down while looking for ipecac (an emetic which I found right away, points for me) while Andy researched the gel writers and called the poison control center. We were talking about hospital and emergency room and Leilani really did not want to go. Leilani proved she could make herself throw up, and first a lot of green came up. When the dinner that she had eaten just before then started to show up Andy informed us they were not very toxic…
