My Kingdom For A Sneeze!
I looked over at Gray last night during dinner and found him sticking a pea up his nose. At first I thought it was kind of funny and quickly took this picture, and got the pea out. Then I realized that he had been doing this for a little while and that there was a whole pea patch up his nose. After pushing a few out and having a couple more come out on their own I thought we were safe. Later when we were getting him ready for bed I realized that there was one more that was too far up for me to get too. How do you get a 20 month old to sneeze? Well, sucking at the pea with a bulb syringe, squirting saline up the other nostril, putting ground pepper under his nose, shining a bright light in his face, and faking sneezes to get him to copy me just made him giggle and squirm (mind you that the pea didn't bother him at all). After consulting dad, a mommy friend (thanks Bunnyface), two books and paging the nurse hotline. I decided we would have to go to the ER. While getting ready the pepper we had been sniffing got to me and I sneezed. Then I hear a "Choo" sound, look down and what do you know, Gray copied me and the pea had come flying out! Ah, the adventures of parenthood.
