Normally, we call Raya "Trouble" and Hallie "Troubles Helper" however, this time it was Hallie!!
We had company on Saturday and they have three girls. Hallie and their oldest play quite well together. Hallie doesn't really cross over the lines and try new things or delibirately do something she KNOWS is not allowed but I found out this weekend that apparently with some encouragement, she will do just about anything. The least of it was finding stickers on my basement windows.
The girls had been playing Polly Pockets (Hallie's new obsession) for quite a while in the afternoon and after supper we assumed they were doing the same thing....WRONG. They were playing Dr. Katelyn was the dr and Hallie was the patient. They were found in the bathroom where Katelyn was administering some medicine (ANTIBACTERIAL HANDSOAP) through a seringe into Hallie's mouth. Once found, Hallie came straight to me and said "Mom I don't feel good, my tummy really hurts". At first we didn't think too much of it but then read the bottle to be safe. That's where it tells you to call Poison Control Immediatly in ingested. Well, it turns out that if you are going to eat something that you aren't supposed too, soap is probably an okay choice. She had a really bad stomach ache and a few nasty bowel movements and that was it! She couldn't drink that night though because liquid added to soap would bubble and make her feel worse. Some friends (guys) of ours thought we should have given her lots of juice and thrown her up and down in the air so we could have our own bubble machine :)
She won't eat soap again!
Raya has kind of backed off a bit lately... I think she enjoyed seeing Hallie get into trouble this past weekend. As I'm writing that I glance over at her and she has a pen and a bunch of books....AAAAAHHHHHH. She did open my oven door the other day while I was baking cookies! Good thing I was right there.

I wonder if any of this kind of behaviour is hereditary? Mom Frederick, do any of these stories sound familiar? :> They do say, "Like mother, like daughter" (actually "like father, like son"... but you get the idea)
Seriously though, your daughters are hillarious!
Ah, yes a little soap is good for a kid. My brother fed me Noxema face cream. He told me it was "yucky ice cream" and then scopped up a bunch on the end of a brush and I just ate it up.
Glad Hallie is feeling better and that nothing worse happened!!
At least you know what she ate, and could deal with it! And, yes, it does bring back a sense of 'deja vu'!
Hey....didn't you leave a comment on my blog saying that you were going to update soon...hint hint.... =)
