Up in there

Two days ago, my son woke up in the middle of the night scratching his nose. I thought it was just the seasons changing so I turned on the humidifier in his room.

The next morning, while washing his face, brushing his teeth, and cleaning his nose. I noticed something in his nostril. I thought it was mucus. Turned out to be a little yellow ball. Well, no wonder his nose was irritating him during the night. I had a conversation with him about NOT putting things in his nose.

Yesterday, I picked up the kids from daycare and Bubba said, "Mommy, I put an earring in my nose." "Bubba, do not put anything else in your nose please." In my mind, we were revisiting the events two days prior.

Last night after dinner, I began wiping Bubba's face and mouth. He stated, "Ouch, that hurts." He then lifted his head back towards the ceiling and this is what I saw:



So of course, we spent part of our evening at the after hours clinic. $20 and one hour later, the hair bead was removed from his nose. It was not one of NyCee's hair beads so I have no idea when he stuck the bead up his nose. My guess is that it happened while he was at daycare. I probably should start an emergency "doctor's office visits co-pay" fund just for him!
