There have been many times in the evening, right before bedtime, that Kendall really wants to eat something, do something, or wear something. So...we devised a plan that works really well. We tell her to put it on her table in her room and when she wakes up in the morning she can have it. She gets excited to put things on her table and even more excited in morning when she gets what she placed there the night before.
One night, she wanted a fruit popscicle before bed. I told her, "No.", then she immediately put her little finger up in the air (like she had a great idea) and said, "table". She ran off to her room and put in on her table.
I love how her little brain works.
Our suspicions were correct! Kendall has been suffering from a serious case of pesticide poisoning! After canceling pest control and Kendall not getting sick again, we have concluded our own personal diagnosis. From what I've been reading on the internet...pesticides are pretty toxic even when they tell you they're not.
Our Pest Control service man told us that all of their chemicals are safe for pets and children AND I'm the idiot that believed them. When I called to cancel, they told me that they have an organic line they could use instead. Tell me this...why do they offer an organic line if the 'other' crap isn't harmful. A bit strange to me! I have learned a TON throughout this ordeal. AND if I could offer a bit of advice...stear clear from the toxic poisoning of pesticides (on your fruit and veggies too). It can cause a lot more problems than we are even aware of. (Key risks to name a few are cancer, birth defects, damage to the nervous system, infertility, and the functioning of the endocrine system).
I realize that every child is different and things affect each child differently, but what we experienced was way too scary not to pass the information along. Protect your babies!!!

A little side note: The other day, I saw a spider crawling around in the house. In the past, I would have picked up the phone, called Terminix and demanded that they come out and spray immediately. Now a days, I get on my hands and knees and welcome that cute little critter into my heart and home! They are so cute...have you seen them up close lately? I guess you could say that I have started looking at insect and spiders a bit differently.
