Reach up high!

My 35 month-old daughter told me a few weeks ago that she doesn't need the stool anymore when she washes her hands. This morning, she grabbed my son's rice cereal from the kitchen counter - I had placed it all the way towards the back last night. Ok, time to make sure all the medicine, even empty bottles or devices, are out of her reach. She's 39 inches and can reach much higher than that. Oh yes, can't forget about the detergents and colorful liquids that look like drinks her peers enjoy. The best way is to get down to her height and see what she sees. Prevention is key. "Poison proof your home." Oh, and the Poison Control Center's number is 1800-222-1222.
