**************************
I am planning a party. This isn't just any party. It's a celebration. It will take place on the day my 2 yod turns 18 yods. That is on February 14, 2023. I will celebrate the fact that he survived. Yes, that's right, the theme is survival. I just had to call poison control AGAIN. I have called poison control more with him than all three of my older children COMBINED!!!! He came to me while I was talking to on older child and said "Mmmm, good." Considering we're upstairs he couldn't have been in the kitchen. I thought that maybe daddy left a coffee in his study. NOPE!!!! My older children failed to put away the bottle of floride rinse. He had at least two caps full of that stuff. FYI. . .if you're child ODs on floride rinse, give them something with calcium. I guess it soaks for the floride. Guess what my child are having for breakfast this morning - unplanned. And I really hate that he did this. I don't use floridated toothpaste. I feel that they get enough elsewhere. I only have that rinse around for my oldest dd who has born with a deficiency in enamel on her permanent teeth. I can't remember what that is called. It happens to alot of premature babies and babies whose mommies had complications in pregnancy. While she wasn't premature as needing NICU, she was 4 weeks early AND she had a mommy with severe complications in pregnancy. So, until I learn how to strengthen her teeth with diet and we know the extent of the definiciency, I keep the rinse around for a once a week swish. Last night was the night. But we all forgot to put it away. I am not buying anymore of that stuff when it's gone. I don't like the idea that I putting artificial floride in her body. And now that my 2 yod has tried to kill himself enjoying a stiff drink of it, I think it's time that it goes. Back to my original point. Everyone will be invited to the celebration. While I will always celebrate their lives on their birthdays, this one will be a special celebration. I am celebrating that Drew survived. And, of course, this invitation has a contigency with it. . .he has to survive.  (If he's this bad right now, what in the world will he be like in a few years. My dh wants to buy the boys the book "Backyard Ballistics." I think he needs to think long and hard about that one. Drew might actually blow up the yard. . .or the neighbors house. LOL!!!) I love my Drewpy. Life just wouldn't be fun and exciting without him.
