My dad was babysitting this morning and the Fiendling sneaked into the bathroom, climbed up onto the toilet to reach the counter, and unscrewed (push down and turn) the “childproof” lid of his super-delicious gummy vitamins. He’d eaten at least 3 or 4 by the time my dad caught him, though I fear it was actually more like a handful. When I got home he was still crying for “more vimins, more vimins.” This is the second day in a row he’s gotten the lid off. It’s my own damn fault for not moving them out of sight.
I walked my dad out and when I got back upstairs less than a minute later he’d opened the bathroom door again and was up on the toilet trying to get the cap off of my prenatals. “Mama’s vimins.” Today we install a lock on the bathroom door. A medicine cabinet wouldn’t be a bad idea either.

THe bright side is, at least he enjoys being healthy.

That’s the problem with childrens’ vitamins nowadays, they’re TOO tasty, and look like candy. I wouldn’t blame yourself, I surely wouldn’t think a 22 month old could do all that, either.

Wow. And I agree with lisamechelle: kids’ vitamins are *too* tasty these days.

I know how you feel. It is like I don’t feed my child, the way he is constantly pulling food out of cabinets and off counters and getting the dogfood out of my dog’s food bowl. And once he gets into something that he isn’t supposed to get into, he goes back 1,000 times to get into it again.
