So Corny

What is it with my kids and sticking corn up their nose??

We were having a nice Sunday dinner when all of sudden Isaac was laughing hysterically and so was Claire.  Suddenly her laughter turned into a high pitched shriek.  I turned and discovered that she had shoved a corn kernel up her nose.  She was trying to pick it out but ended just pushing it right up her nose.  There was no way I could get it out.  We calmed her down and thought maybe with a hot bath it would loosen and fall out.  We tried getting her to blow it out, but she still doesn't know how to blow her nose and just kept inhaling it in further.  So after bath, no luck, it was still in there good.  I thought how on earth is she going to sleep tonight (me included!) knowing this thing was stuck in her nose.  So Anthony decided to look online and someone posted we should try the nose sucker....which totally made sense!  So we got it out and......ta-dah!  Sucked it right out of there!  She was so ecstatic she started laughing and started sniffing it back up there!  It's safe to say that she has learned her lesson and she will not do it again.

Isaac did the exact same thing when he was about her age.  But I got to him in time before he stuck his finger in his nose.  I remember being on the line with tele-health and they were like, it's not a big deal.  Kids eat dirt.  It won't hurt them.
