Milk in the Eye

I went to a baby shower yesterday and AJ stayed home with Emmaline and Liliana. Liliana was drinking milk out of her sippy cup (she has the straw style ones). Well she managed to "flip" the straw when it still had milk in it and it sprayed in Emmaline's face - including into her eye! She broke out in hives on her face and complained of her eyes being itchy. AJ gave her a good dose of benedryl - which helped quickly (thank goodness). Even after a good nap and the hives had gone away, you could still see around her eye that it was still swollen. It scares me to think that if milk can do that to her face, then what would it do to her insides if she drank it?
Anyway - we promptly threw away all the straw sippy cups and went to the store and got Lil some standard valve style ones.

Holy Moly! Even when you TRY to keep it away from her, she gets flicked with it! Poor little thing!
