Not a Chocolate Chip
When the girls and I returned from story time, I ran in to get Chris and we went over to rumble tumble to get a few bags of hand-me-downs out of the back of Leann's Jeep. We got home and Chris brought the bags in and dumped them out on the floor so we could sort through them. Then the girls and I went into the kitchen to get out the ingredients to make chocolate chip cookies. I gave each of the girls two chocolate chips and then sent them into the living room to eat them while I went up to the bathroom.
While I was upstairs I heard Abby start crying about a yucky taste in her mouth. Chris was trying to help her out, and had her go spit into the trash and then rinse her mouth and spit into the sink. I heard Abby getting more and more upset and then she came upstairs. We found out that she'd eaten her chocolate chips and then, in her area by the clothes piles, saw something on the floor that she thought was a chocolate chip. Thinking she'd scored an extra chocolate chip, Abby picked it up and popped it into her mouth, quickly realizing it was not a tasty morsel after all. Whatever it was, it was stuck in her back left top and bottom molars so we were scraping with the tooth scaler, brushing, rinsing and repeating the whole process. We had her rinsing with diluted peroxide as well. It was really tough to get her teeth all cleaned out. We still haven't come to a definite conclusion as to what it was Abby popped into her mouth, but whatever it was did not smell good. Luckily she didn't swallow any of it.
