Ella is fine... When we baby proofed the house, I wrote the poison control number on a post-it note and made sure it was always on the fridge, just in case. This afternoon, as I was cleaning up from lunch and Ron was in the bedroom sleeping, Ella found the Baby Vaseline and in a matter of a few minutes, managed to have it open and smeared on the floor. (The same floor, I might add, that I just cleaned during my 2 hours of house work.) 
As evidenced by the Vaseline tub, she only got a few fingers in it but I wasn't sure if she put any in her mouth and ate it. According to the label, I called Poison Control to see if we needed to have Ella checked out. Ella is fine. Even if she ate half the jar poison control told me, she'd only experience a stomach ache and probably diarrhea which could mean dehydration would be a concern. As it was only a few fingers and it looks like most of it was smeared over my clean floor, she probably won't even be affected. The RN said it was the third call today about 15th-month-olds and Vaseline.
I did have to give my name, address and phone number so now I'm sure I must be in their database for something. :) On a lighter note, Ella has mastered drinking from a straw.... And yesterday when she was sitting on my lap and Lahrissa came to give me a hug, Ella hugged me and said "Ma mumma". Does she now know me as mumma? Usually mememe or mamama is milk but I might officially be mumma. Yeah!!! She mastered Dadda and Da-dee months ago and I've been patiently waiting...
