Oh ouch! You'd wonder what they'd be thinking, little maniacs! Probably a scarier experience for you than for him.
My mum always tells the story she found my then three year old sister sitting holding an open bottle of bleach. She wasn't sure if she'd drank any so they brought her to hospital, and they wanted to keep her in overnight to be on the safe side. The next morning, my parents returned to the hospital - she was gone from the hospital cot and no one knew where she was. Panic stations, naturally! She was eventually found in a cleaning supply room, doing her best to open the child-proof lid from another bottle of bleach!

It didn't hurt him, more fright really, he had an xray again this morning and it's not moved very much. I'm waiting for the doctors to see what's happening, once he shows no sign of distress or pain they'll xray regularly and wait for it to pass, otherwise it's surgery.

Our GP gave me some sage advice about kids (and he has five of his own). Girls are smart, artistic, quiet, independent. Boys are great fun and will really make you laugh, but they are also total morons. As the father of two small boys, it turns out he's right!

I find it very hard to keep my 3yr old boy at playgroup. Most of the other toddlers (mainly girls) are sitting doing arts & crafts & playing ever so gently with their toys and all my son wants to do is go out to the playground and run around like a loon shouting.
When I was about 3 I brought home a friend (boy) from playschool for the afternoon. Within 5 minutes he'd showered with his clothes on, poured Tippex in his hair and gotten my 1st floor bedroom window open & had thrown one of my mam's plants out of it. I just looked on in silent awe. he's swallowed a nut before but I didn't know til I found it in the loo,
Maybe he thought the screw was a bolt?
In all seriousness I hope it passes soon!0 -

Oh joy - hope it passes (pun intended :pac:).
Have two boys as well, and may just start to bribe the local A&E nurses for premium access
so far, no personal injuries, however our 3.5 year old has managed to wedge a metal spike into one of the sockets (thought my heart would stop, thankfully it was in the earth part), same with a crayon (came running to me asking me to get the crayon out again - uuhhhm???), wanted to fill my car with the garden hose (tank locks! I finally found their purpose :rolleyes:), hid food on us in the house (mammy, the bananas are hiding! :eek:) and also managed to climb up onto the window sill, open the window and threw out my plants. How he even gets those ideas i dont know, it's not like we dont care 
Friends who had a girl (the quiet, arty, book reading type) had us over, and told me not to worry about him, let him run around, their house was safe and sure what could he really get up to? Within minutes he found the family's xmas present stash (little girl didnt even know that space existed...), locked himself in the bathroom (thankfully unlockable from the outside), switch on their dryer, and then proceeded to throw the girls's furniture over the bannister down the stairs.
Suffice to say they don't have us over all that much any more 0 -

I have no idea! Although he always eats apple cores and plum stones so I suppose screws are the next level
I think it did scratch his throat though cos he's still pulling the skin on his neck. This madman has a huge pain threshold, he bounces off things and just shakes I off.
He's coming home tomorrow, the hospital got on to Crumlin who said that once there is no pain or discomfort he'll be OK to pass it naturally.
I have to say I'm nervous about it, he bounces through the day, I'll be afraid he'll land on his belly and dislodge it!
Ffs, kids would melt your head!0 -

None yet, just back in the hospital now, his dad is doing the nightshifts, waiting for the doctors and maybe get him home today. He's fast asleep through beeping and buzzing and chatter.. I'm so envious

Ya know, I was reading this when you started this thread Cbyrd, thinking thank fcuk my lad was never really interested in putting stuff in his mouth.
Well.
Today I'd to snatch about 5 different things out of his mouth and tell him off for it.
That'll teach me, eh? 0 -

Don't get me wrong, my boy is clever, runs rings around the 5 year old.
I have no doubt about it but you did thank a post that called him a moron
Kids are energetic and curious so get into all sorts. It is when they are lethargic that you should worry. To say all little boys are stupid and all girls are smart is moronic* in the extreme and says more about the intelligence of the posters doctor and kids than anyone else.
*And irresponsible.0
Hope he's ok.
