My boy ate soap

Ok, what am I supposed to do here?

Being a stay at home dad, has enumerous challenges. After feeding him lunch, I sent my son to wash his hands. He came out of the bathroom, foaming at the mouth. He was smiling and wiping his tongue off on his shirt. I pretty sure he just ate soap. He mouth is FULL of foam.

I knew that getting the Watermelon Hand soap was a bad idea....

How do you ever punish a kid who does stuff like this to HIMSELF?

My boy did similar. He wanted to taste a bar of turquoise colored glycerine soap that I had taken from a hotel. So we figured, this is going to be a learning experience for him.

He kept chewing and smiling.

I took the bar from him and had a nibble myself. Not bad at all! Tasted a little like gin flavored candy. Then I remembered that glycerine is also used as a sweetener in some special-diet food bars...
