Plants and Poison Control

Tonight I walked into the living room only to see this...

Ansley had taken a bite out of the Peace Plant on our hearth! After calling Jon at work, I decided take extra precautions and call poison control and check on the measures we should take. They confirmed my thought (and prayer) that it was not poisonous. The lady I spoke to was so kind. Anyway, she suggested that since the plant did have some chemicals in it that I should wash Ansley's hands and face and give her some water to "wash it down". Thankfully, she had not choked on any of the pieces. The lady told me to watch Ansley closely for the next hour to see if she developed any reactions. Ansley seemed perfectly happy and normal (except she cried because I took the remaining crumbles of leaf away from her). Later she vomited twice and I was actually thankful for this just so she could get anything she may have digested out of her system naturally. Needless to say, we will be moving the plant. Ansley is so curious...anything beyond or behind the gate seems much more appealing than what is inside of it!

She is really on the move these days and we don't think we will see many more weeks pass before she is walking. It looks like we are going to have our hands full!

P.S. Coming soon to a blog near you...a Valentine's Day picture to match our new background! I know a Valentine background with a "Merry Christmas" header and picture don't quite go together!
