Attention fellow parents...

I just read about this cool new product in the March issue of Redbook, and I thought that perhaps my fellow parents out there might want to know about it too:

They are called Eyedentity Labels - which are 2"x2" temporary tattoos that display critical medical/ emergency information about your child. For example, for my son his Eyedentity Label would read Brandon/ Insulin Dependent Diabetic/ and then our phone number. You get 18 per pack for $25 (free shipping) and the tattoos last anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks (depending on activity). The idea is that these are great to use on vacations, field trips - or anywhere that you might become seperated from your child. They are also recommended for the elderly who might become disoriented and need assistance.

Anyhow - I thought this was pretty brilliant. You can lose a medical ID dogtag or bracelet...but not a tattoo. They are also very flexible with what you want written on the labels.
