Trouble

We have officially entered the putting things up our nose stage. Lizzy and I were playing Hi-Ho-Cheerio earlier this morning and it was still out after we had finished playing. Shrek was on TV, Lizzy's new favorite and a staple during this crummy weather, when she started rubbing her nose and crying. She sneezed, and I saw something brown sticking out of her nose. I realized they were the little cardboard circles that were punched out of the game to create the holes in the trees.


By this point, Lizzy wouldn't blow because she was so upset, so we headed to the bathroom where my tweezers are located. I pinned her down on the ground and proceeded to pull out 3 chewed up cardboard circles from one nostril and 2 from the other. Lizzy continued to cry, especially since she was looking at herself in the mirror (this usually makes her more upset and I think she does it on purpose).

Anyway, they were out and we had a talk about NOT putting things up our noses. This was the second time, the first was a very small pink rubber hair band. She had pulled it out of her hair while sitting in the carseat, and then shoved it up her nose. We couldn't see it at all, but she was sneezing and rubbing her nose so much we figured out something was wrong. We pulled that one out by hand since I had her blow into a tissue. Two lucky breaks I say, let's not make it three.
