I came downstairs the other day to find Eva sitting on the kitchen table. With an empty bottle of bedwetting tablets.
I’ve always heard a kid could take the whole bottle of anything homeopathic like that and be fine, but just in case I called Poison Control.
They got a good laugh when I told them, “Well, I guess she won’t be urinating for a good week, huh?” They told me she’d be fine, though.
Side note: I can’t really say if the bedwetting tablets work or not because I wasn’t consistent in giving them to Callie. You’re supposed to give them at every meal and at bedtime, but I could never quite get my crap together enough to do that. It’s easier, quite honestly, to make sure she has on a diaper or Pull-up at bedtime.
Update many years later: honestly, what worked was several visits to the chiropractor and no more bedwetting and also her attitude in general improved. No joke. Not sure why but I'm a believer in chiropractic care now! It also helped Sam when he would cry every car ride ... one gentle adjustment and he was much better.

We once had to call an ambulance for my father. My mother being the diligent wife that she was got down all his pills and the little pill separate by day holder for the paramedics. After we were done and the ambulance was pulling away I turned around to discover that the paramedic had sat the holder (not child proof) down next to my three year old son who proceeded to eat all the pills. That was the scariest night of my life.
