Popcorn?
So, Jake has been REALLY stuffy for the past couple of days. He sounds like his nose, and his sinuses are just packed. And he kept on telling me his nose hurt. It looked a little red around 1 nostril, so I assumed it was from the kleenexes. Can't really give him any medicine for a decongestant, because he's too young, still. I he hasn't figured out how to blow his nose yet, so that doesn't really help. He came into our room at 6:30 this morning. He was coughing and so stuffy and just sounded miserable. So I decided I was going to try to get him to blow his nose, and just see if I could help him at least breath a little better. The good news is he has learned to blow his nose. The bad news is , he blew out popcorn kernals. POPCORN! What? Why do kids feel it is necessary to store things in their nose? He has pockets. I don't know why he doesn't use them. Needless to say, he immediatly started breathing through his nose quite well. And he slept until 1030 this morning, so I guess the quality of sleep has improved. Boys! What am I gonna do with him?

Ah, the nose stuffing....I remember when I was about 5 stuffing a small lego up my nose because I didn't want my brother to get it. Sigh. It was obviously traumatic because I still remember it. And my neice shoved a pencil eraser up her nose last year (she didn't know how to blow her nose either). Sigh. It's a hole...great for hiding stuff right?
This story of the popcorn made me laugh out loud! This is the first blog I have ever read so I'm glad it was a good one! I made comments throughout your blogs :)
