The incident I am about to describe happened last night but I felt it had to be today's entry. I put the quarter in as a size reference to the screw type object which I pulled out of Josie's left nostril! Yes, it was in her tiny little nose! It was about 9:30 p.m. when Josie ran to me in a bit of a panic and was clawing at her nose. When I realized there was something stuck up there I brought her into the bathroom for better light. I was on the verge of panic myself when I saw that her nose was starting to bleed just a little. It took me only a few seconds to grab the tweezers, pin her arms from flailing, tip her head back, steady her and gingerly extract the object from her tiny little left nostril. Not sure how I got all that accomplished with only two hands, I must have turned into an octopus at that moment. When I saw what had been up her nose my first thought was "where the hell did that come from!?" After a bit of detective work I found that the little bear she had been carrying around was missing its eyes and I bet you anything that is what it is. I don't know how long she had it up there either. Earlier in the day she was sticking her finger up her nose but I didn't see anything at the time. She is none the worse for wear today and honestly I have pulled so many things out of both girls noses I can't tell you how many times. I don't know if that is just one of those kid things that happens to everyone or if my girls have a fascination with putting things in their noses but I would totally be happy with it not happening again!
