child safety...

learned a very important lesson today...
does not matter how smart you think your kids are or how well you think you know what they will or will not do, they will surprise you and not always in the best ways....i will be buying 2 locked boxes to store medicine in because my very smart 4 year old son decided to drink between 1-2 oz of children's motrin this morning....luckily he came to mike and told him right after he did it and there were no side effects based on what poison control told me to look for, but seriously, i never in a million years imagined that he would do that!!!!!!!!!
so now to be safe, i'm going to buy the boxes and all medicine will go in them and we will have to take an extra 10 seconds to unlock a box before giving motrin or tylenol or even get something for ourselves...it is just too big a risk to take.....
