Enzo is such a smart little boy who loves to learn and is constantly climbing, playing and getting in to everything. Earlier this month Enzo had just woken up from a nap and was playing in his playroom. I was on a work phone call just outside of the playroom when I noticed it had gotten very quite, quite is never a good sign with Enzo. So I quickly finished the call (mind you the call was only 3 minutes and 58 seconds long) and went looking for Enzo. I could see that my bedroom door was open so I figured he was in there emptying out my sock drawer or something of that nature. Nope not in the bedroom, instead he was in my shower in my bathroom. (side note I had just shut all the doors leading to my shower, bathroom and bedroom right before the phone call & had no idea Enzo could open them) I go in there to find that Enzo has found the baby oil that I use to help keep my skin soft after showering. He was someway able to get the "child proof" lid off and had at least tasted his "drink" that he had found. I am pretty sure that he tasted it and spit it right out since he had baby oil all down his shirt like he has food or water when he spits it out. I picked him up cleaned him up and started reading the back of the baby oil to see what is may say regarding ingestion. It says "avoid ingestion or inhalation which can cause serious injury. Should breathing problems arise, consult doctor immediately." I wasn't to worried as Enzo was breathing just fine. I googled baby drinks baby oil (worst idea every) basically everything that came up said that my little Enzo was going to DIE. I figured what the heck might as well call Poison Control again (yes, again - remember the Trident Gum) I call and the operator informs me that as long as he didn't aspirate any of the oil he should be fine. He would just have diarrhea for a couple to days because the oil would act like a laxative. If he aspirated any of it, it could cause him to have Chemical Pneumonia, which can be very dangerous and could lead to death. As long as he didn't start coughing, wheezing or having a hard time breathing then there was no worry, if any of those symptoms started I was to take him to the Emergency room immediately. Seriously! Luckily for us Enzo was just fine and he never had any cough, wheezing or breathing issues. How scary that would have been. We did learn a lot from this experience though. Rooms we don't want Enzo in have to be LOCKED, "CHILD PROOF CAPS" are not Enzo proof, Poison Controls Number is now added to my phone & accidents can happen in seconds.

Not only do I lock the door to my bedroom, but I now lock the door from my bedroom to my bathroom as well. I don't want Enzo to have get into something that could have had deathly consequences again. I have already moved all my cleaning supplies into a closet that Enzo can not access.
