Judah slept in this morning and Joshua, after kissing her sleeping head goodbye on his way to work, told me I needed to go in and look at her. I did, and she was passed OUT, her mouth and eyes half-open, and sniffling slightly. I told Joshua she must be getting a cold or something and he nodded in sympathy with me.
Judah woke up a short time later and toddled into the kitchen in her bunny slippers to say good morning. I sent her to the bathroom to go pee-pee. After a few minutes I went to check on her. She was finished and was trying to clean out one of her nostrils with a square of toilet paper. I asked her if she was stuffy and sniffly this morning, and she said:
“No, I’m just trying to get the paper out of my nose.”
Oh, okay.
Wait.
What?
What paper?
I had her tilt her head back and I peeked up her nostril. Sure enough, there was a very soggy white thing stuck up her nose. She was trying to sniff it back and forth. I grabbed a tissue, closed her other nostril and told her to blow hard. Thankfully, the little puppy came right out. Apparently, she shoved that in there before she went to sleep last night.
We had a little discussion about how she shouldn’t put things up her nose and how dangerous it is to do so. I asked her if there was any more paper in her nose and she said no. We went into the kitchen to fix her breakfast and I called Joshua to tell him all about it. By the time we hung up the phone, Judah was messing with her nose again. I asked her what was going on, and she said there was paper in the OTHER nostril, too.
So we went back to the bathroom to blow that one out as well. Luckily, that one also came out easily.
I thought when my kids left toddlerhood, they would quit doing things to try to kill themselves. I suppose it just changes - from accidentals to doing things ON PURPOSE.
Lucy put corn up her nose once…it fit perfectly. We removed it the same way.
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. great story.
haha. That is awesome. Jonah when a baby, stuck a pea in his nose. Then a second time when 1 or 2, then a third time the other day, but this time was 2 in one nostril, and one in the other.
apparently as a tot i stuffed a piece of sponge up my nose and it expanded as sponges are wont to do so we had to go to the doctor…oh to be a kid.
