It happened. It was inevitable. I knew that the time would come when one of my cherubs would shove a foreign object up their nose. For Sarah, the object of choice was a little fuzzy wuzzy pom pom type thing. The problem was that Dr. Mom could not convince Sarah to blow her nose!
She cried, whined, moaned and groaned for an hour. I finally told her that if she didn't blow her nose that the 1pm Sorry game was cancelled. That did it. She was thrilled when said object was out of her nasal passage. Dr. Mom to the rescue!

ah!...so the key to motivation is to speak the language...got it! Thanks Babe, you wonderful mom you!!!
How happy I was to read "fuzzy wuzzy". Bryce wedged a broken snap up his nose (while we were out of town at a piano competition). It involved undignified screaming, blood, and a trip to the ER. I wish I'd had the Sorry card up my sleeve.
ah yes--what is it with kids and putting things up their noses? Jay once stuck a Jelly Belly up his. He was only 2 or so, and his nostril was just big enough to accomodate the bean. He also had no idea yet how to blow his nose. I sprang into action, applying pressure to the top of the bean until it "crowned". Then I dug in my fingernails and pulled. My first successful jellybeanectomy. Jay recovered quickly...then asked if he could eat the half-dissolved jelly belly. I love being a mom!
Jen, was it a boy or a girl?
This is one thing I didn't have to deal with as a mom. Thank you Lord Jesus. Hannah ate change (I didn't know until she told me last year) trying to figure out how someone could actually get a dime to come out their ear.
Out their rear?
