Nose

I have been lucky the last few years with my boys. They have spared me many of the regular motherhood experiences. For example, I've never been peed on while changing a diaper and we haven't had any broken bones or stitches.

But last night at dinner I experienced something I thought I never would. We were eating pasta with peas and pomegranate berries on the side. Nolan and I were talking about school when miles started fussing and pointing to his nose. I wiped it and figured we were good and then he shoved his finger up there and really started yelling. I asked pat if he saw him put anything up there, which he hadn't but started telling me about the many things his brothers used to shove up their noses.

I pushed around a little bit and sure enough out comes a pomegranate seed. Phew, crises averted! So I sit down to finish dinner. But miles starts fussing again and poking in his nose. So I take a look up there and didn't see anything but decided to close his other nostril just in case. Sure enough he breaths through his nostril and out pops a pea!! What was he doing over there?!


He was much more comfortable after that so I sat down again. But as soon as I did that he went to shove a pea up there AGAIN! I declared dinner was over at that point.

I did not take pictures of this experience...you're welcome.
