Tip of the Day!

If ever your child puts something up their nose-----before you take them to the ER/doctors- first try this:

1-Close the opposite nostril (one without the stuck item)

2-blow on their mouth---not too hard----it could take a couple blows

3- Wah-la!

Sure wish we had known this trick BEFORE Collin and Mike took a trip to the ER (man, are we ever becoming regulars there). I came home from Samantha's dance class to find out that Collin had stuck a bead up his nose. He tried to get it out himself- which pushed it further up his nose. Mike first called our friend, who is a ENT resident here- but he was stuck in a procedure and didn't know when he would be out. So Mike went ahead and took him in.
Collin was quite popular there- the nurses just loved him. And quite obvious by the picture below- Collin was truly enjoying himself! Who wouldn't like staying up past their bedtime, kicking back and enjoying a sucker while watching TV?
The next day Collin used his hospital ID band as a super hero band-- funny little guy.

You guys have taken over our job, we were regulars like March through May so I guess the last few months have been your turn.
